Thumbs up Stud Conversion Kit?

I have been looking around to see if anyone makes a kit for the W205. I've converted all of my Audi's/VW's etc. to wheel studs over the years but I have not seen anything for this platform?

Maybe because the offsets are already on the upper end of the scale and any conversion kit would make that required offset even higher, much higher. Just think our rear has +57 offset stock, a 15mm thick conversion kit (to be sturdy and cover the bolt heads) would make that 72.

following up here - has anyone successfully completed this? I understand the concern about offsets. I am running aftermarket wheels, so no requirement for a spacer. I do a lot of work on my car, so wheels on/off a lot and getting away from lug bolts would be a nice little win. Certain kits (so many for BMWs) look really good, and significantly better than the OEM bolts.

Im removing them this weekend tho unfortunately the studs don't let the wheel bolt cap/cover thing to be installed:/ I like the cap to cover the bolts.. Keeps the dumb thieves from steeling the wheels.

if you want the kit I can clean it up and ship it your way lmk.
