Icon5 longer bolts instead of extended studs?

Is it at all possible to replace honda's studs with bolts? I'd like to use 10 mm spacers for my OEM (+55) wheels in winter which means I'd have to use extended studs, but my summer rims will be +45, so I'll need shorter studs again. It would be much more comfortable to have two sets of bolts, what do you think? I've never had such a problem so never thought about it...

By the way, it is my BBK-to-be which forces the use of spacers in winter, still I'm going to have a problem with my spare wheel all year round. Is it possible to use any spacer with a stock spare or I have to look for an alternative?
Thanks for advice.

Why not just use some open lug nuts?
Lug Nut - M12x1.5x20 Open Hex (Ball Seat)

That way, it won't matter if your studs are extended.

Good idea, but I'd have to give up using locks...

If you only need them for when you're not running spacers on the stock wheels, do you really mind not having locks on the stock wheels?

Locks don't really help anyway. A wheel thief can easily grab the lock with one of those sockets that's made to take out damaged bolts.
