Drill out the original bolts and fit longer ones
As my Dad used to say "Each to their own lad"

I am sure I have seen/read, that you can buy some sort of extension bolts. Not sure how they work, but I am sure someone will be along shortly who does!

I used extended m8 nuts on my rear carrier which worked well. Go into amazon or ebay you will find plenty.

I tried the " extended nut " method but didn't like the look . (see old post viewtopic.php?f=6&t=40408&p=313405#p313405 )
I ended up as Toddy suggests drilling out the old studs. Longer studs can then be welded in. But as I don't have access to a welder I simply fit longer m8 bolts fixed with m8 half nuts. The half nuts allow the rim to fit closer to the carrier and so tighter to the leg shields .

Cheers.
