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.
