those look fine... you don't need to fix them. You can polish them if you want, to make them look good.
I run 245/50R16 all around, and they rub. I would recomment 225 in front, and 245 in rear.

Bawa,
I found that I needed to run a 3/8" spacer. The wheel mounting surface is fairly thick, so you might not be able to grab enough threads on your stock studs.
... this is the problem I had
I bought some ARP extended wheel studs, almost 3" long. Moroso sells them too.
The next problem I had was that these studs were TOO long and the normal acorn style lugnuts would bottom out before tightening the wheel. So instead of cutting the nuts, I ordered some 1" long open ended lugnuts, you can find them on Summit in the Gorilla brand. Make sure that you buy quality lugnuts with a deep conical seal. Otherwise, you won't be able put a socket on them, and you'll strip them.
The other thing you can do is try to find some studs that are only 2.5" long, instead of 3"........ I had a hard time here, so I just went with the long 3" ones... but you might have better luck.
