Are the spaces 24” or are the studs 24” on centre? You should be able to find fibreglass batts that work for 24 on centre.

As far as the depth of the studs goes, can you move the framing out? Pull the nails top and bottom and move it out from the wall 3”. That'll give you plenty of room for insulation. I'm assuming that the framing isn’t structural—just backing for drywall.

It's not a load bearing wall, but the studs are tapcon to the concrete wall. The spaces are 24" on centre. I found some, they're just a lot more expensive

They weren’t fooling around. But, bare wood against concrete may start to rot. If your foundation isn’t damp-proofed and we’ll drained.
