Default Help?! Car newbie

So I bought a 2011 Scion tC back in October with a ton of stuff already done to it. A month after I bought it a stud snaps literally in half and I lose a lug nut, then I get it check out and another one snaps off while the tire is being put back on.
I don't know if I'm just looking for the wrong thing but it has been impossible to find something with the same length and look as the studs currently in, I would really like to drive my car again so any knowledge will help. Is there any way I can mess
with the spacers (slip on 1") to use shorter studs or am I stuck with this size? Also where can I find studs like these I've looked up ET and race brands but they don't seem the same? Bellow are the measurements given to me by Firestone
and confirmed by a custom Scion shop.

Thread between 87-89mm or 3.45-3.5 in
Full length:95-96



M12x1.5 Both ends of the stud

Top part


Where is snapped

All I can find is the Toyota Part No. 90942-02049 which is the stock Wheel Stud. If you have Special or Custom Studs I don't think anyone here can help you.

I think your Best Bet is to take the broken stud to your local auto parts supplier, Auto Zone, Pep Boys, O'Reillys, Napa Auto Parts...

Also you might benefit from reading this xB Gen1 Thread and gain a bit more insight: DIY-Installing Longer Wheel Studs w/ Pictures
