The mounting methods you describe as coned or flat determines the way the wheel is centered on the hub.
Coned = stud centered, the wheel nuts ensure the wheel is centered on the hub and hold the wheel on.
Flat = hub centered, the center hole in the wheel fits neatly onto a boss on the hub and the wheel nuts 'only' hold the wheel on.
It is possible to have hub centered wheel nut holes machined to accommodate stud centering but you must ensure the tapers match perfectly otherwise the nuts WILL come loose.
Also you have to ensure the center hole has adequate clearance.
The biggest problem is finding wheels with the correct pcd otherwise they will have to be made from blanks.
I had this problem once and it was easier to change to spider hubs to allow fitting of tubeless tyres.
Good luck
