Looks like your going to have to do one of two things, replace your wheels for something that fits, or go for extensions on the hubs, though I detest anything that would add extra length, its always best to stick with the original hubs and not do anything with them.
You could acutally sell your brembos and get AP's for not that much more tbh

could i just not fit extended wheel studs which would allow me to fit the nut onto them

Personally I'd buy wheels that'll clear the brembos because spacers can put extra load on the studs if they aren't hubcentric .
