Default rear wheel stud advice please

Hello. 2002 camaro z28 with 18x9.5 corvette wheels in the back. i have basic spacers to fit my 305/40/18 nitto 555r tires right now, and they fit well and corner well to.

--> Now, i plan to get new tires for the spring, and i would rather have better fitting wheels, so spacers and longer studs.

-->i get longer wheel studs

-->and put spacers on to keep me from rubbing (i have a .25 inch on now, also own a 1/8 inch set, i can always buy any amount i need)

Any advice out there people?

Thanks for any suggestions

where to buy quality longer studs, or tires worth driving on the **street, for the occasional street race, not a lot of racing tbh, i just like the look.
