Hmm, mine pokes out the back of the steel spacer insert but not out of the spacer
Your flamer looks sublime, never a fan of the colour till I say your avatar.

Yeah thats what i'm going to do but wondered if someone had the details at hand just to save a bit of time.

I'm lost now.
Do you mean the studs that keep the spacer to the disc, or the ones to keep the wheel to the spacer?

I'm assuming wheel to spacer, if so are you running non oem wheel bolts? Aftermarket ones seem to be few mm longer from my experience. No issue normally but with spacers could be.
My standard Turinis and 2118's had less than 20mm exposed thread going into hub so there's no reason the bolts should be bottoming out against the hub when bolting wheels on unless theres something else wrong or the wheel bolts are bit longer.

The kit i have (h&r) you bolt the spacer to the hub and bolt the wheel to the spacer.
The problem is when bolting the wheel to the spacer, the bolts are too long so hit against the hub.
Needs shorter bolts by roughly 2mm. The bolts i'm using are OE ones.
I'll just get some shorter bolts but thought with spacers being popular folk might have known what size wheel bolts to use

Basically this is the same issue but with 20mm spacers:
