Buy extended wheel studs. Blox and ARP are the two that come to mind.

removing/installing studs is pretty easy. if you have a stud puller, use that; but i'm guessing you don't.

tools required.
- a few washers that fit around the stud
- a nut that threads onto the studs
- a hammer

remove oem studs
1. find a nut that fits over the threads to the studs.
2. thread the nut so that it's flush with the end of the stud
3. using a hammer, gently tap the nut/stud out until it pops out from the back
4. remove nut and remove stud from behind rotor
5. repeat 20 times.

installing new studs
1. install new stud from behind
2. throw on a few washers (at least 2, but use as many as needed to get your socket onto the lug nut)
3. thread on lug nut and tighten until the back of the stud is flush with hub
