Question Wheel spacing

Does anyone know a place around tampa that can do custom jobs for wheel spacing up to 3/4 inch for my rear wheels?

The thing is that when spacers get to be to thick, the studs will not hold the rims anymore, I have called places all over tampa including wheel tech and no one can help me.

longer studs.....
or if you are spacing them out that much, you'd attach the spacer using one set of lugs then the wheel with another.

The problem with that is that i can only find 1 inch minumun spacers for that and that might put the wheels out too far and grind against my body. Thats why i asked for a professional to do it or someone who knows about this stuff. I really dont want to deal with it.

i understand. i have h&r spacers on the rear wheels but they are only 4mm or so.
you could always have your fenders rolled and or pulled.
