Question Help finding wheel studs

I bought some after market wheels for my 95 sc400 to only find out after I had the tires mounted that the front wheels hits the brake calipers. I went out and bought a pair of wheel spacer but, they didn't have any longer studs. I must have been to ten local shops trying to match up something. Can any of you guys give me a link to buy ten longer studs. Thanks in advance, Terp

This is what I found. If you want more info use the search with the terms "Wheel Studs".

If you are interested, I do have a set of 4 3/4" spacers with the extended studs attached to them. Bolt pattern is 5x114 so they will fit on the lexus. These are a Japanese brand, full aluminum similar to the H&R brand that retails for over $140 a pair. They are safer than using a spacer that is sandwiched between the rim and the brake rotor because they bolt onto the factory studs. I was gonna use them on my MR2, but I have since sold the car and no longer have any use for these. These are brand new still in the box and come with all the hardware needed to bolt on. They even come with the lug nuts. PM me with an offer if you are interested. I can get some pictures if you are interested.
