The stud length won't matter if you have open-ended lug nuts. Otherwise, the close-ended nuts might not be deep enough to fully tighten the wheel down.

Are you going to run spacers? If not, 60mm studs are unnecessary. If you are not sure, it's good to have them just in case, but Nismo studs are not cheap. You don't want other than ARP or Nismo studs cuz they are safe and good quality.

thanks guys. I currently have s14 se 16in wheels on, what size spacers in the front and rear would i need to have my wheels looking flush without rolling the fenders. everything else on the car is stock for now except the tenzo r lowering springs.

I am planning on running 17x8.5 front - 17x9.5 rear. as much offset as possible. building a daily driver for drag and time attack so traction is very important.

i think you mean to say as little offset as possible.The smaller the offset, the further out the wheels will be, thus eliminating the reason for having spacers in the first place.
