Had to do that with some lugs that bottomed out on the hub and brake drum Jim. Measured the wheel thickness and a shop with a coolant cutting wheel shortened them for me. Big diameter studs were not an option because they would have limited the wheels we could throw on the car.
Seems something here is preventing the wheel from being clamped tight.
