A good wheel shop should be able to supply you with the correct ones.

Would be keen to know if the e36's are cross compatible.

I'd get longer studs instead, so much less hassel than having to line up hub, spacers, and wheel.

Several places in the states sell them, or find suitable studs from another car and adapt those.

do you mean the studs that bolt into your hub, therefore giving me studs?

if you do want longer studs make sure you get them with a 60 degree straight taper. (un)Fortunately we do not stock or sell studs longer then 30mm as you can run into all sorts of legal issues when running spacers. ie the shop that sold the studs can be held liable if you have a crash and it is found that the studs came loose etc.

strictly speaking spacers do not pass a WOF unless they are of a bolt on variety and do not exceed 25mm in thickness and your car has a low volume cert (opens up a can or worms here )
