what setup are you running? yoou could try the 3/4 inch spacers which come with extended screw on studs. these are a strong spacer. if your running 8.4 setup then your caliper will always rub. if your running 4pots designed for certain 10inchers then you might get away with spacers. more info needed..

I've heard that fitting those screw on type studs aren't a good idea?

there stronger as the make the stud thicker. and they hold the spacer in place. they are used on tracks more than longer studs.

I think your trying to put 10" wheels onto 12" disc set up? Afraid it won't  and you will have to fit 12" wheels |

You can buy some japenese import 10" wheels that will fit, but they are like gold dust now and cost a fortune |
