14mm -> 12mm Stud Conversions

I've seen a few threads on here about 14mm to 12mm stud conversions, so I figured I'd ask around here..

I have JDM wheels with 12mm lug holes. My hubs are 14mm. I currently have 14mm to 12mm stud conversions to run the wheels, but I'm looking for longer ones to possibly run spacers.
Does anyone know of a place to buy 14-12mm stud conversions?
Thanks,
-Rob

This is the one we run and there is a good amount of thread remaining for the possibility to run a spacer. We run a +40 so its not needed, but there is enough to run at least a 10mm spacer if needed (i havn't measured though so don't quote me).

Plenty of room with TSW Studs. I run a +45 wheel at times with a 5mm spacer. Bolts up just fine.

I believe the TSW studs are designed for 10mm spacers. However, 10mm is not a realistic size for the Mini due to the hubcentric snub.
