05 Odyssey extended lug studs
Ok let me just get it out of the way and say I'm an idiot. There's no need for you to tell me. I'm VERY aware of it. But since there seems to be little I can do about that, let's move on to something maybe I can fix.
So I bought this older Odyssey in great condition except it needed tires in the worst way. No biggie. Got a good deal. I'll happily take care that. And then I found out about PAX.
OK. A minor setback. I can deal with this. Did my research. Found some beautiful BMW X3 wheels with nearly exact same offset. Mounted new tires. Ordered hub rings and lug nuts and we're in business! Right? Swap out the back. Perfect fit. Wow, looks sharp. Move to the front. Ummmmm. Something isn't.....ahhh, crap! Wheel hits the caliper. Ok. Another minor setback. But I can still deal with it. Just need a 10mm spacer. No biggie. Not so fast. Also need longer lug studs. Well, how hard can that be, right? Somebody somewhere will have them, right?
I have searched everywhere on the net, call every specialty manufacturer even mildly related to this and nothing. I've heard rumors in a thread here about an RL that somebody does make such a thing but for the life of me I can't find it. Please help.
What I have is an M14x1.5x46mm with a 16.5 knurl. Need one about 10-15 mm longer. Anyone ever run in to this before? I don't pretend to be any kind of expert in automotive technology (or much else for that matter) so those of you who know, please mentor someone who doesn't. Thanks.

Guessing you are using a wheel spacer that is just a disk with holes in it.
have you considered wheel spacers with studs attached like eibach pro spacers.
You bolt them to the existing studs and they supply the new studs for the rim.
