How many threads on a wheel stud is okay?

2 threads minimum
Two threads eh!

I'll go take some more pictures right now of the lug nuts too... And take some measurements. Might be a wheel fitment issue because it's the same on the front/back of the car.

I would think so. If its not the wheel fitting right. Longer studs would be a good idea
 
Here's the inside of the wheel

Here's the inside of the wheel sitting flush with the rotor (i took it off to put some engine paint on the area that was rusting)

Here's the lug nuts I'm using.

If the shank continued all the way up the lug nut that would be ideal... The search begins.
 
The length of the shank should be slightly shorter than the width of the wheel flange.

Is there a bevel on this wheel?
Where did you buy these?
Take a photo of the nut IN the wheel from both sides.

A. Stud from the front rotor from the right stuff disc brake kit.
B. Reverse LH thread stud that came off the 8 3/4
C. RH thread stud I got from Dr Diff to replace the LH threaded ones.
D. Lug nut approx 7.5 turns on the correct wheel stud.
 
I think those will work. the shank appears longer... (that's what she likes)
FYI They are ET extended tread lugs.
Not a lot of info on them, I would like to see some specs.

reduce this gap and you should be good.
