Default Wheel stud - need longer

Replacing the wheels on my 2000 GC Sport with intrepid wheels. I have a Wheel spacer, but would like to install slightly longer wheel studs. ( safety, better safe than sorry) Anyone know a longer stud that will fit, and what it would come off?

If you want to be safe, you wouldn't put spacers on in the first place. You're playing with fire when you change the spacing between wheel and hub. Moving the tire centerline outwards makes it harder to turn the wheels and causes them to return to center faster. It also puts extra load on the wheel bearings. Really bad idea.

I know it's done. Doesn't make it a good idea.
