On alloy wheels, due to the way they're made, they typically have thicker hubs and the areas between the lug holes are hollowed out to save on material.
In an application such as above, the longer studs will just extend into the hollowed out areas and matter not.
In a steel wheel situation, as you can see from your spare, they only have a very minimal indentation between the lug holes, allowing what looks like perhaps 3 to 5mm, a very small amount.
Short version, i think that as i have steel wheels, i'm going to need to grind off the excess stud length, or find and fit new studs.
