16x8 Alloys with Zero offset, will they stick out miles!!

Re: Changing a wheel stud with the hub on, any suggestions?

I tried putting a nut on and tightening it but it got really stiff, REALLY stiff and didn't want to ruin the thread? Has anyone else had to do anything similar? I wonder if a couple of washers would help?...
