Longer wheel studs are available at auto parts suppliers.
For Celica front: remove the entire brake disc and hub assemly, unbolt the the disc, then knock out the old studs. You will see that there is a spline type engagement section, under the head of the stud. The new stud has to be pulled into the hub, ensuring that the stud fully bottoms out. Rattle gun works well for this. You would be well advised to re-check wheel nuts a couple of times, after replacing studs.
Some live axle rear ends can have studs replaced without removing the axle, some cant, depends on the length of the new studs.
As has been said elsewhere in this thread, it is imperative that, the wheel centres on the hub. This is where all the weight of the car sits. Adapter rings are available at wheel shops, measure the dimeter of your hubs, and the internal diameter of the mounting hole on the wheel. Take these measurements along to the wheel shop, and pick up the adapters.
regards Chuck.
