>>>Yes, that's right.   GT5 wheels are thicker in the center, which is why 
they require longer studs.   I think you probably have standard-length studs 
since your car has 8 and 10-inch wheels.

>>>That sounds just fine.   It seems that in the brake industry, .80" and 
1.25" are standard thicknesses.   It's possible that there are markings 
lightly stamped into the rotor somewhere that specify the minimum thickness, but 
if not, just use your judgement.

I think you're in good shape. :>)
