I had the same issue with front 20mm spacers, about 3/16 wobble side to side. I ended up shaving my lug nuts down a couple mm with a Dremel and a fiber cutoff wheel, Checked them each with a caliper, and rounded the outer corners slightly. It took some time but worked great. My snow wheels are steelies, and the steel is stamped into shape. They have a relief stamped into them between the holes, but the edges of the relief are rounded (not machined) and hit the lugnuts. The rear is a 25mm, and the lug nuts are just below the surface so no prob there.
I'm thinking that's what it's coming down too. The only thing I'm worried about is shaving to much and ruining the thread or the steering the nut.
