Wouldn't it be easy enough to give them dimensions for a tube with a certain 
inside/outside wall thickness and then "slice" off the appropriate length 
bushings for the studs?  To keep them on, you could drill a small hole and 
put a grub screw in it and secure them to the lugnuts.  Just a thought.
