longer Wheel Studs

I got my hands on a set of 3rd gen wheels, putting a custom paint job on them, and putting them on my 90 GTU 2nd gen......but I need to use some spacers on the front for clearance but I need some longer studs.

Someone told me they make aftermarket corvette ones that are longer but am unable to locate them. I looked in the achive and couldn't find anything there either.

Any help or suggestions would be great thanks!!

I'll post pics when I am done it is going to look bad ***!!!!

The ARP studs from jeggs are very nice, and they are only about 25$ for 10.

No.
The stock wheel studs are press-fit.
