Since these drums are 1/4 of an inch thicker. Do I need to change the studs to the longer ones?? Or will the factory ones be long enough?
 
Sal,

Wait for someone with Al drums to be sure, but so far as I know, studs are studs. I don't see a different P/N in my 44W book for any sort of alternative stud.

alum are not 1/4 thicker , they measure about a 1/4 thick which is about a quarter inch thicker for the pair vs steel

studs will work but if you run slicks the studs have to extend past the rim surface (including washer if used) as much as the stud is wide so for stock thats 12mm , and the nut has to have threads the same amount past the rim (some shank lugs dont do this) .

with the way these cars can launch aftermarket studs should be used if you plan to go to the track and using spacers can even cause the good studs to break
