I am using 7/16” conical lug nuts. I think I get at least 3 or 4 turns of each lug nut, about the 3/4” you mention.
I recently upgraded to front disc brakes. The CPP kit I bought has longer 7/16” studs, which I was happy to see. So stud length on the front wheels is no longer any issue.

I have a box of 7/16” EXTENDED THREAD lug nuts. They have a conical design like the ones I currently use, but an extra long threaded area. To use them, I’ll need to enlarge the lug holes ever so slightly.

I’ll post pics once I get back to my home computer.
