You can buy spacers that have studs in them.  Usually they are for adapting one 
bolt pattern to another but they also come with the same bolt pattern.  It 
shouldn't be hard to find them on ebay 114.3 to 114.3 1" thick wheel adaptors.  
It is a pain to install studs as long as you are asking for in the rear because 
the brake backing plate is in the way.  You have to drill a hole in the backing 
plate to slide the stud through or you have to remove the collar, bearing, and 
backing plate.  It would be easier to either buy new wheels with the correct 
offset or buy the adaptors.  I have been using the adaptors on a 3000 pound 
mustang autocross car with 11" slicks for two years with no problems.

hi everyone
is there a source for longer wheel studs?  i would like to add some spacers to 
the rear, to increase the track about 2 inches, and push the tires to the edge 
of the fender.  any thoughts?
thanks in advance
