No idea what spits use, but I always replace my wheel studs with long  
black studs. Not sure if you're dealing with some specific problem but  
it's  trivial deal, I don't even drill them out to fit, just find a  
stud with a spline base that's the same or slightly larger and press  
them in. Your local Napa guy should be able to help
