You are talking the spacers that have the studs already pressed in that bolt onto the existing stock lugs? Most modern wheels have clearance pockets that will not pose an issue when mounted on less than 25mm spacers.
In that case you'll have to grind or cut them flush to the spacer. Just to note, don't overheat the studs when they are being worked on. These are heat treated. Hack saw with bi-metal blade is fine with a few light touches on a bench grinder or hand held grinder to clean the end threads.

opps too much spacer ?
30mm spacer as multi fit have no recesses on back
but they stick out
would 25mm be better so dont have to short the lugs

does it rub as is? if it works now why change it? you can lessen the spacer by 10mm and still get ample caliper clearance but you will need to shorten the factory studs to fit under the wheels.

Yeah, you're right. Ill get on topic.
In the car modding world your situation is referred to as "poke". It is a desirable look as long as it does not rub or cause any issues. Your poke is aggressive looking and honestly looks cool.
If you don't like the poke you'll have to modify your studs like Timmy said to fit your wheels.
