Cut them off with a cut off wheel on a small grinder.

  Subject: Wheel studs



  I bought some Ansen Sprint wheels to put on my car.  They come w/ the 
  acorn style lug nuts.  The previous owner changed all of the wheel studs 
  on the car and installed some that are @ 3" long.  So they are way too 
  long to work with the new wheels.  I tried a couple of places including 
  the one in Omaha that usually has everything.  Couldn't find anything to 
  fit.  
  The main problem was getting one with correct diameter of the knurled 
  portion so it would fit in the hub.  Everything they had was either too 
  big, too small, or discontinued.  For the record the knurled portion of 
  the one listed in the catalog for my application was too small.  It may 
  be that the previous owner drilled them out to accept the different 
  studs.
  Anyway what I need are studs that are 1/2"-20, w/ a knurled dia. of @ 
  .640 and @1 3/4" - 2" long.  Any one got any ideas?  I thought about 
  cutting them all down to the proper length but I think they are grade 8 
  bolts and I'd spend more in hacksaw blades than I did for the wheels.  
  Not to mention the orthopedic surgery on my shoulder.
