Default Longer Wheel Studs for Spacers?

Anyone know where I can get longer than stock studs, at least 1/2 inch?

I tried the local stores, but they only have stock length.

Thanks.

black forest industries carries some.

BTW, what's the rule for lug bolt length on spacers? I can't remember.

Any time a wheel spacer is installed, longer wheel bolts should be installed to ensure proper safety. ECS Wheel Bolts are available in a wide range of sizes in either ball seat (OEM wheels) or conical seat (most aftermarket wheels). To determine the correct bolt size, add the width of the spacer to your stock lug bolt size (28mm for OEM applications). Please contact an ECS sales representative if you have questions regarding selecting the correct bolts for your specific application.

BFI's are something like $1.85 for any kind, slightly cheaper than the ECS bolts.

yeah, make sure you get the right type of bolt. OEM is a ball seat, most aftermarket (that I know of) are conical seat. This makes a difference, so pay attention.
