Wheel Locks Q

Raising vehicle theft/break-ins in my employee parking lot have promoted my to start looking into a good set of wheel locks. Seeing a car up on crates was funny till i thought about seeing my own car on them. Took me forever to save for these rims and I want to not worry about them while in working.

This was really straight forward and an easy order till i realized i have longer wheel studs on my rear. Stock length studs were only grabbing a few threads with my TT2's on there.

I went to autozone got a set of Dorman open ended 12mm x 1.5 locks and i went to put them on, but the key itself was not long enough to tighten the lung down. The stud was hitting the back of the key.

What are my options here?

Does anyone sell a set of locks that are longer/deeper? I would prefer closed ones as they look cleaner. I checked Gorilla locks and didnt see any.

Can the studs be cut down a few threads?
