doubt it. contact tom@crateenginedepot for gmpp long studs, he has the part number. You will need to trim the bullet nose if you are using hubcentric spacers with closed end nuts for example to use sky/solstice wheels And while 15 mm is the magic number, you cant make a hub centric spacer at 15 mm it has to be 19mm to have enough material to be hub centric.

If you havent actually contacted Powell privately about getting something customized then do that. If you have and he can't help you out with this one go to Motorsport Tech...

We manufacture the best Wheel Spacers money can buy | Motorsport Tech

I have two sets of spacers from these guys. Super high quality billet aluminum, hub centric spacers in 5mm and 8mm.

I think they can help you out with a setup that has studs in it already. If not, I'm sure they know where to go.

What are you doing that you need such thick spacers and super long studs?

i bought mine from a canadian company, they are 10mm and 15mm hub centric billet aircraft aluminum spacers. 10 for the front and 15 for the back, they will make my car look awesome i think. and if i go the the GM long studs, being at 68 mm, i will lose about est ~1mm in the back and nothing in the front. i plan on posting pictures, i really like the whole dropped and outwards stance big thing here in my region.

it is physically impossible to have a 5mm spacer that is anything other than a plain spacer fits over the hub and use oem wheels.

its also physically risky to make a hub centric standalone spacer that is less than 19mm as there needs to be enough material to create the hub centric flange at the same diameter as the existing wheel bearing, to use oem wheels.

Measure the hub flange yourself to understand why. Unless you are using aftermarket wheels that have a great hub opening than stock, in which case, if the wheel hub opening (75 mm) is at least 10mm more than the hub of the cobalt wheel bearing, ( 65 mm iirc) then you can do it, but oem wheels will not fit . I am not 100% on the wheel bearing hub diameters dont feel like going out and measuring it.
