Try McKenzie Performance. They have a lot of wheel studs available in
various lengths. I have always found them to be very helpful, their prices
are usually very good, and they ship quickly.

You can contact McKenzie through their web site (although you can't actually
see the studs - their site isn't set up that well), but at least you can
request a catalog, or just call and speak with someone. They should be able
to help you out over the phone.

I have no affiliation with McKenzie's other than being a very satisfied
customer (and I have dealt with them on numerous occasions).

Cheers,
Bruce
