I just put on my new wheels, and, I'm having a few problems. The bolts aren't long enough, but I can easily solve that problem with longer wheel studs. As for the bolts, they are a little on the short side, and I can't fully tighten them down because they recess too far into the holes. Is there a such thing as nuts with a longer length to stick out of these holes more?

I was browsing the SPL website and found these: Gorilla chrome plated small diameter 1-piece lug nuts are steel which meets most club racing requirements (aluminum lug nuts are usually not recommended). small profile makes these lug nuts reasonably light and fit with wheels with deep/small bores. Set of 20 lug nuts, 12mmx1.25 to fit Nissan lugs, with 1 adapter tool.

Can I use these on the oem wheelstuds? Because if so....my problem is solved!

Yes, you can, as long as you get the correct thread pitch.
