new wheels... maybe a problem

Hi,
ive just been to the vw show at Harewood House and picked up some cheap t25 Wheels,

They were on a T25 previously. Ive come home and fitted them... front are fine. But the backs... the alloys are thicker so the nuts dont tighten as far on the threaded bar if that makes sense. On the originalls the nuts go all the way down, on the new ones they only go 3/4 down the thread.

Question.... if this good enough?

is there away I can put longer threaded bar of the hubs? or is there another fix please?

I would replace the front bolts with studs if I were you mate.Brickwerks sell them also.
