If you grind them off there shouldn't be enough difference to cause a vibration (unbalanced wheel), but you never can tell.
Have you measured your studs yet? A 1" may work. Are you completely against a 1.25" spacer? I'm with you though, I think a 1" is all I'd want to do.
For the money of the better spacers and new lugs, I'd rather look for some 8" wheels. If they're the same backspacing, then they'll stick out a inch past the stock 7" wheels. Craigslist might yield some good results. Our bolt patterns (5x4.5) is common on most jeeps, Rangers, Explorers, Mustangs, some older Dodge/Chrysler products, Hondas (accord/Civic), most Hyundais, and a BUNCH of other stuff. Google it. A junk yard could help you. Could find some stock stuff or get lucky with some nice aftermarket wheels.
