Talking Wheel stud advice rst

Need some advice here please guys?
Have recently acquired a set of 7 spoke diamond cuts for the S2, the previous wheels were multi fit so the wheel studs don't fit.
Borrowed some RS16i ones but the sleeves are too thin and tighten straight through the wheel, managed to get a hold of RST ones, they dont look much better!!
Can someone advise me of a part number for a wheel stud to fit these wheels or a modification to use the RST ones?
OR am i being a fanni and the RST ones will suffice?
The young guy in the local Ford garage was as much use as a chocolate fire guard!

Cheers

I really don't understand the problem. RST's have boggo 60° taper bolts as standard. These would suit most aftermarket wheels, I didn't think the RS 7 Spokes were any different? There shouldn't be sleeves involved?

Failing that, any wheel place should be able to supply regular 60° tapered bolts.
