You could face the shank on the lug nuts to shorten them up a touch if they were close.

Examined everything..
Lug Nuts were all fine and not Binding.
But several if the Washers were deformed.
Installed new Moser Studs and Steel Washers.
Cleaned the washer surface, replaced a few Lug Nuts.
Going to be more attentive to safety aspects.
Will check then with a Torque Wrench before each race.
