Depends on what wheel/rim you plan to use. I had to replace my wheel studs and used the extended one. They looked real funny using my standard steel wheel. But with my 16' Enkei RPF1's (40's) they look great.
As for the studs, there are studs made just for them.

lol I just installed some on my 00 si today. The rear was a piece of cake, the hub comes off and you can hammer them out, and new ones back in. The front is a lil bish tho, so we took it to the machine shop to get em pressed. Honestly I dont know the point of them (anyone want to tell me?), I just got em because a bunch of my oem ones were broken and found extended ones for pretty cheap.

longer wheel studs is to help accomodate running different offset wheels along with wheel spacers. another reason to installed some wide wheels such as slicks.
