Default Help with lugs

I just got my calipers and rotors replaced went with the supra tt setup. But since I was already in there I replaced the stock studs with Arp studs. the arp studs are longer 2.6 inches versus 2 inches. I am using the g35 19" wheels. I need some help finding lug nuts that will work if anyone has any ideas or experience the help is greatly appreciated.


Note I am using open ended lug nuts now but they are really small they are only .6 inches tall they don't have much thread. Maybe 5 or 6 threads. I would like to replace with something a little bit safer.

I have a set of longer OEM lug nuts if your interested. The lug nuts on the GS 17s are short accorn style on the right side of the pic below. The longer lug nuts I believe are from the RX. Let me know if this will help/work for you.
