Need suggestions on how to fix my wheel problem

I bought option racing feather light series 5 spoke wheels in 15s. Multiple websites say they fit the ge but when I had a friend put em on they won't clear the caliper. The clerance is roughly 3/16 short. Right now I have two 1/2 inch hole washers behind the front wheels but the lugs are like 2 threads short of being on all the way on the stud now. They told me my wheels would stay on but I'm still a little sketchy about em. Should I buy some extended wheel studs and put a real wheel spacer on the front wheels or buy different lug nuts better then oem. I don't know a whole lot about wheels
and I'm kind of at a loss on this I def can't send the wheels back. Any serious suggestions would be appreciated.

Wheel spacers on all 4 wheels.. That way your handling won't suffer from just having front spacers.. Might have to get extended lugs.
