You could ad a couple of low-profile washers, making the bolt "shorter" inside the wheel.

I'm pretty sure the rounded base of the bolts is there for a reason. The cutting wheel did the job on my lunch break. Time to get the tires balance with the wheels on.

i would cut them with a hack saw and then bevel with my grinder. and wire brush to remove burrs.

i have done this many times but never with lug bolts.
