i am guessing get longer studs. that is just my common sense. I remember reading somewhere a write-up someone did on wheel spacers on a 2001 and they also put longer studs on. I have never done this but aside from rusty/stubborn studs, replacing the studs should be simple.

Yeah, just get longer studs. They just press out. Then you press them in and torque them down (using the spacer or wheel) a few times to set them properly.

That is why Maxhopper, Minister of DOOM and myself have spent the time to make the "FAQ/how to" sticky. It's there to help you, and no need to search through tons of crap to find what you're looking for!
