I'm not sure about this, but is it possible to change the bolts one the wheel hub it self to someone that's longer??
i have got some wired rims, which are really thick at the senter, and i'm afraid the nuts won't get enough to grip to. if you guys know what i mean by that..
i haven't measured the original bolts, but i'd like them to be a good 40mm longer. at least. and also at the back.

do any of you know if this is possible?? :?

For the rear you will probably need new bearings if you want to change the studs, as the short axle removal damages them. Its doable but tricky.
