I would call and talk to someone over at Tire Rack as they would be able to help you locate a set of wheel studs.

This happened to me also, the spacer was not allowing the nut to grab more than 5 turns of thread. So the shop ordered some ET Mag Nuts which were much thinner and would be able to gothrough the stud hole in the rim and grabbing the stud.....well they were not thin enough. So the shop suggested a rather interesting solution....drill out the holes and make them larger....and it worked...

I'm not sure chicos solution is the best route to take.

No its not, because its not the easiest to take wheels off now, as soon as I can afford new wheels, these are coming off.
