Ok, by shortened I'm assuming you meant narrowed? are you having trouble installing the bump stops because the tire/wheel is too close or another reason, as much detail as possible will help the community help you.

Your going to have to replace your rear wheels with ones with increased negative offset. The stock rims are too far inside toward the diff. Any change made to a component must be accompanied by changes to everything that works with it.

1/4 inch is roughly ~ 6.35 mm

Depending length of studs you might be able to use a ~6mm wheel spacer to gain clearance maybe? Or even use 1 inch spacers depending on your wheels and clearance
