Default Is there such as a wheel stud coupler?

Is there a safe way to use a coupler to extend wheel studs? Is there such an idea. Or rather, is there a way to lengthen studs for spacers without having to install longer studs? Or, where can I find a set of longer wheel studs without having to spend a grip of money. I have an extra pair of spacers without studs to go with them and I want to install them on the rear so I can match the spacing of the spacers I have up front. I know they make those long necked tapered nuts to grab a few extra threads, but I'd rather go with longer studs. Please no flames with this apparent hack job It will be done soon enough, but like to look better till then...

thank you.

(I did do some searching, but found nothing)

no such thing... and if there was, it wouldn't be safe at all....

with a safety related thing like that, do it right or don't do it at all...

best case - the wheel comes off, worst case - the wheels comes off and tragedy ensues...
