There's also some Miata metric studs that could fit, they come in a larger knurl diameter. If you find one that's bigger than the FD size, you could always drill your hubs to accomodate it.

Well obviously don't just get a hand drill, it's something that should be done on a milling machine with proper care to make sure that the holes stay centered. There's no reason it can't be done, you've just got to do it properly.
