Don't know why you would need to change studs just for a change in tire size? but I bought ARP 12.5mm long studs for racing purposes. You can change them yourself if you want. For the rear axles you need to turn them and find a position that allows them to back up when you wack them with a big hammer, they'll just pop out. Putting the long ones in may not work with the axles still installed though. You may have to pop them out of the housing. Use spare (old) wheel nuts, a big stack of steel washers, and a 1/2 inch drive 400 to 500 lb.ft. air impact wrench with a deep 6-point impact socket to pull them into place. Be absolutely sure they have all fully seated or you won't be having a good day! The ARPs are incredibly tough and will take some power to seat them so don't start unless you have the tools and lots of washers stated above. Or you can pay someone big bucks to do this for you

The reason for longer studs is because i have to use a spacer to install the new tires otherwise the tire will rub.

edit: anyone who has 315's know what there stud length is?
