Landcruiser studs in my rear

Hi guys,
I need longer studs in the rear of my car to clear the tire from hitting the strut. I have spacers but once I put them on theres not enough room for the lug to screw in. I also use drums in the back so put that into the equation. I'm just afraid the thicker part of the landcruiser studs won't fit the rear hub. Anyone done this.
I asked O'riellys and the front studs are the same as landcruiser but the rears are different, when I looked at them myself, they seem the same.

What your required to use those spacers are probably Extended Studs.
What is the Thread Pitch/Size (12x1.5 or 14x1.5)/Knurl Diameter/Thread Length (will vary on spacer size)?
Or to make it easier give me the year/model

My car is 2001 Toyota Solara and the stud I want to use is from a 1997 Landcruiser.
My concern was the Knurl size for the rear hub, Mine is a drum brake so I don't know if knurl size is different.
Thank you for the help

They are 3mm, one isn't enough to clear so I put on another so essentially it's 6mm to clear the strut. Takes two 3mm.

Stacking spacers is just a no no IMO...Thats just a plain stupid ideal as they are not reliable and if one space fails.. Say bye bye to your studs and wheel. Its dangerous to drive that way.
If you are going to have to use spacers please use the correct ones...
If I were you, look at the H&R spacers... They come with the studs and spacers as a kit..
You can buy a 5mm or 10mm kit. IMO get the 10mm kits if you have the space. Assuming you are using high offest wheels.
But knowing what size tires and your wheels specs will give us more info to help you out and get the correct size spacer..
trust me.. do not stack those 3mm spacers that mostly likely aren't even hub centric...
