In order to furnish you with a more complete answer, we're going to need a more complete question. Perhaps some pics of the axle, hub, and wheel- best done with the wheel off so we can see what it is we're dealing with. Because all I see is a tub and tires.

i am not sure exactly what youre dealing with, or how much space you need. but you could always add a few washers on the stud before you mount your wheels. and it might give you alittle bit of clearance. just as long as you have enough stud left to mount the wheels and nuts. its at least a quick fix until you find something else.

That may be a quick fix but, not a good one; by doing so, you may achieve the desired spacing but, you also raise the risk of breaking the studs off...

Ok, it's a good thing the rim & hub are separate. Remove one of the wheels & measure from the mounting surface to the outer edge of the rim on both sides; IF the measurements are different (ie: the rims are offset), fit the rims so the smaller measurement faces in, towards the hub...
