Why not just get the right studs from Bus Depot (or more expensively from
the VW Dealer)?

211 501 627 A - 34.5mm (1.36") long - $3.95usd  ea (Dealer gets $11.25usd
ea!)

A quick check with my VWOA contact says:
1 - Vancouver Depot
65 - Toronto Depot

Call Bus Depot and see what they have or can get with that same VW number.

It's possible that Dorman, a major US manufacturer of wheel studs for the
aftermarket *may* list this, but I don't remember ever seeing it in their
catalogs.  The wheel nuts (N0201121) are much more readily available, such
as at Bus Depot:

Don't even think of using the pieces that CIP offers - incorrect length to
start with.<http://www.airheadparts.com/viewDetail.asp?strMasterCat=&idproduct=6201>
