You add a spacer, push the rim out, but the studs are to long?
I would think you would need longer studs.

The spacers on bolt on, not slip on. Once you get over about 10mm, the studs would be too short for enough lug nut engagement like you said. So the bolt on spacers go over the oe studs and bolt on using small nuts. Then the spacer itself has studs that the wheel bolts to. So the oe studs stick through the spacer and the wheel needs to have a pocket to make room. On the new car, the oe studs stick out 25mm past the spacer, so the wheel needs a 26mm pocket. The wheels I've checked have an 11mm pocket.
Sorry I don't have any pics, worth a thousand words....
