Longer wheel studs and wheel spacer question

So it seems that the tire that I wrapped my mazdaspeed MS01s in are a little too wide. As a result, the tire is actually slightly rubbing against the spring in the front. I bought a set of 6mm wheel spacers, but they still rub slightly.

First off, I'll need longer wheel studs to accommodate the increased space. What would be the best place to buy these from? Also, I'm thinking of doubling up the 6mm spacers to get 12mm of space on each side. This sounds extremely ghetto and somewhat dangerous to me though. Where might I find a 10-15mm spacer online?
