Volks, Syncronauts!

I bought a set of Borbet C 7x15 ET35 wheels for my Syncro today. See
them at http://www.borbet.com/borbet_neu/php/rad.php3?design=c
My main problem is not the fit, they fit perfectly. Almost. The studs on
my Syncro are way too short, not only rear but front too. I need longer
studs all the way round. Where can I get new studs? I looked in the
archives, but that didn't help!

Also the rear axles are sticking out of the hub on the wheel. Not nice,
and I would rather keep the smooth hub covers with the Borbet logo. I
thought of using 5 mm spacers. Any tips, suggestions?

I will be using Copper Discoverer AST tires 215/75R15, got a good deal
on a set that's hardly used. The tire shop shaved 1/3 off the price,
I'll get them for $300. See those at

comments??
