What kind and size of spacer are you looking to put on? Most spacers bigger than 1.25" have studs built into them. Longer studs on the hub are not needed.

The ½" spacers (with longer studs) will make for non hub centric mounting.

1/2" spacer is 12.7mm thick. If you are using an 18mm spacer now with stock studs, 1/2" (12.7mm) would be even better with more thread engagement. Why do you want longer studs?

i mostly want the longer stude if i have to run the 18mm and for peace of mind cause I am putting on much bigger and heavier tires ( 265/65R18 to 35×12.5 R18)

a 1/4" spacer is all that's required to keep a 12.50" wide tire out of the UCA when running stock wheels. You'll likely pay a premium, if you can find them at all, for longer studs. Not to mention the hassle of pressing them into the hub or finding a hub with extended studs (unlikely).
