10mm spacers will just be a straight through job I would have thought so don't need to be off set and threaded. You can buy +10 +20mm longer wheel studs from rally design or burton if their going on a roadster. To be honest the longer studs won't be to stressed unless you have made your chassis from solid bar,clad it in lead sheet and you weight 60stone. A good machine shop could knock those up in about an hour (ish). Unless your talking about the rings that pack out the centre mouting ring?

I'm not sure if a laser cut plate would be balanced enough, don't forget that a laser cutter still uses compressed gas to clear the cut and on 10mm plate would be quite rough.
