The same length studs on the rear only work with Vanagon alloy wheels due to
the cone shaped lug nuts and the lug seats being cut deep. Follow the wheel
manufacturers recommendation for the application or measure things real
carefully.

I'm a syncro guy not a 2wd guy. I believe that the studs on the rear
are the same length in 2wd as they are in Syncro land, so you should
be okay.
