The studs used up front were Extended ones I got off jp.
The rear studs are simply the old Front studs with 10mm of the splines machined off. Very easy to do if you have access to a Lathe 
Here's a picture to show things better.
Left = OG Rear Stud...Middle = OG Front Stud... Right = Machined Front Stud for Rear.

hi covin can you tell me how fat the spline part of the stud is as i have got some merc wheels to drill out and i may as well drill them to clear the spline.
you could use a open ended spaner to mesure mm please |

The splines are exactly 14.85mm in diameter so I'd say 15mm clearence hole is required
