I am looking for longer studs so that I can tighten a 1.25" thick wheel spacer correctly. The factory studs are not long enough for the spacer threads to tighten properly. Can't find them through Dorman or other manufacturers. I need a 52mm length stud.

How are some people fitting 1.25" or thicker spacers?

Vehicle is a 2010 200 series, I am trying to put OE Platinum 20" wheels with 305/55R20's and achieve an overall offset of ~28+. I am removing some aftermarket wheels that came with the truck that were 30+ offset and the tires cleared the wheelwell.
 
Also trying to find the proper lug nut for that wheel.

For the 05/2011 and earlier Tundra's and Sequoias I get 90942-01103

And for the 05/2011 and later Tundra's and Sequoias I get 90942-A1001

The previous owner changed the OE brake discs and I am guessing that the ones used for the retrofit are thicker and thus the stud does not reach.

Spidertrax come with their own studs that attach to the hub...then your standard lugs attach to bolts on the Spidertrax spacer. No need for anything other than your same lugs. The holes you see in the image below are where included nuts go in order to attach to your hub.

Here's a shot of them:

The Nitro ones I am using work the same way. The studs on the vehicle hub are not long enough. I think that my case is unique because the previous owner installed some stupid cross drilled and slotted disc brakes which are quite thick at the hub mounting surface.

Ahhh. Makes sense now.
 
the spcer nuts are long but ai am not comfortable not threading them completly.

I will purchase 1" thick spacers as this is cheaper than replacing 20 studs at $16 bucks each.
 
Just my two cents...

For the cost of those bolts, you could replace both rotors.

Unless you have nearly-new rotors or something? I'd replace the rotors and consider spidertrax if you have any doubts about current spacers. Might be fine, but if there's one spot on my truck I want to be solid, it's any use of spacers.

Spidertrax = only $129 a pair. Pretty reasonable and a rotors aren't ridiculous...but it seems your rotors are the flaky part.
