Those closed lug nuts look like they have to be used with a stud conversion. If you are just doing normal 10mm+ spacers, simply use the black bolts that are provided with the spacers since they are longer than stock ones to accomodate the spacers. If you are going to go with a lug conversion, I'd play it safe and use normal nuts to go over the stud just to be safe. This is one area I don't like to mess around with because a a wheel that's not bolted down on all the threads could lead to a pretty disastrous result.

so basically those lugnuts/stud conversion is not ideal with spacers. The only reason I was going to do a stud conversion was to run those kind of lug nuts.

I could be bias however.....

RS Technik has my vote. Previously ran the Macht Schnells but pretty much destroyed them when i had to take them off. the pocket design on the RS's make them lightweight...and they fit perfectly.

just get open end lugs to go with the studs.

i really like rogue engineering's open window design spacers. very light...
