I agree with this option if it will indeed work for your situation. Modify the studs, or buy new studs that are slightly shorter than the stock studs so that you don't need to modify the wheel as you suggest.
Here is a wheel that has some of the extra material removed from the back side like I think you are contemplating (see video at about 2:00+). This particular wheel is designed to handle the removal of such material without compromising the strength of the wheel. If you could afford these wheels though, you wouldn't need any spacers as they will make them with whatever offset you need (they do make a 17" version for track use).
