Any problem using turbo wheel studs labeled rear on the front?

Pelican lists various sizes as rear or front. Any harm in using a stud labeled rear on the front of my Carrera 3.2?

The stud length varies for the spacer width on the hub. It depends on your application - if you are adding spacers to the front or not - and are using stock wheel lugs - not nuts (open faced), you could be bottoming out on the nut without the wheel being tight on the hub.

With anything nut/bolt related that isn't stock or known length, seems you should simply drop back to standard knowledge of how to bolt things together. I was always taught that meant you need 1.5x the bolt diameter of threads engaged to assure you have enough thread to get full clamping strength. And of course you can't have the fastener bottom in a blind hole EVER or its useless. That requires some simple measuring. Having different length front and rear studs sounds very risky unless they are so far apart length wise they don't work at all if placed incorrectly.

I have the lengths accounted for - the question is ... is there anything about the bolt diameter, seat, head, etc. that would make it different between front and back.

I think no but wanted to check.
