I had the same issue with an Escort with Mags - and found that Misubishi Sigma studs were an exact swap - but longer. In fact - they could be the same as the Falcon ones (I swapped 15 inch wheels between the Escort and EB Falcon) - problem is you need a Falcon stud to wander into shops with to compare.Lots of cars had spacers standard (Mini Coopers as an example), they are not dangerous as long as the spacer is located by the studs.

Needles to say, I will be keeping a very close eye on them indeed just to make sure.The car looks absolutely hot now. I will take some photos with the camera soon.Cheers!
