That would depend on how much shank the studs have on them. You could always use washers to space the difference in rim thickness but I wouldn't personally feel comportable with more than a couple on each stud. What do the standard nuts look like as a matter of interest, do they have a sleeved end that locates inside the ally rim? If so I would use standard nuts for fear of damaging the ends.rbgaz wrote:need to take sip tubeless off to clean will be putting ord splt rim on is there any issues regards the long studs ? cheers

It shouldn't make any difference, except take you longer to fit the nut. The shank length is the same as a standard stud. I've toyed with fitting the long studs with split rims so I can double nut them, thinking it might be safer, mind you I've never had an isssue with a nylock coming loose.
When running 2 SIP tubeless with a split rim spare a few things to be aware of.
Your SIP tubeless rim may not fit on your spare wheel holder. The type of spare holder with locating studs will probably have standard stud length and when you put your SIP rim on it there's no visiable stud to accept the nut, so you need to carry some tie wraps [or similar method] to hold your SIP rim on.
You need to carry some standard 8mm nuts with 13mm head size to use on you split rim, the SIP nuts will bottom out on the long SIP stud.
You may need to carry a deep 13mm socket to fit the std nuts on the SIP studs [not yet tried a std socket so not sure on this].
I'm not a fan of dome nuts, I'm wondering if a spacer could be made to fit in the recess in the wheel so that I can fit std sized nylock nuts. I seem to recall some aircraft type nuts being mentioned many moons ago [by Soulsurfer maybe?] that had the same diameter as the sip nuts but not sure if anyone tried those?

The ones I tried were K-nuts, they fit, but are a tight fit due to their nature and you risk undoing the studs. You can easily get 12mm AF nylons though, perfick! 
A long reach socket is required when fitting a standard rim, at least it was with mine.
I am after some Binks nuts but I've not found a supplier, so if anyone knows of any?? I wouldn't use them in wheel studs though, I don't think that's their purpose
