[Fot] Wheel stud

[fubog1]

 2nd that good advice; 3/8 is marginal, especially w/spacers & more offset.

 Perhaps here it is best to Try  something different and way better...It seems your best option would be to upgrade to a larger wheel stud. The Stock OEM size ones you mention are not the best option for GT6ing 
A bit of searching for  a lhicker and longer wheel stud may give you better and more available options. A good machinist can’t help customize wheel holes or lug nuts.
Good luck. I’ve figured out a few custom lug but/ wheel combos this year using Common  stuff from Summit racing.
