when i got my rims i had to use a small 2-3mm spacer to clear the calipers and the rim shop ordered me different lugs that he said would be better to use with the spacers because "they got more turns".
i originally wanted black lugs but he wasn't able to get them in black.
which lugs would be the best to use, and are available in black

You shouldn't use spacers on these cars unless they are hubcentric, and spacers that small are not hubcentric. Very dangerous if you run not hubcentric spacers on these cars because that means the weight of the car is on the lugs and not the hub.

Adam is right! but with a 2-3mm spacer they will not make them hob centric as they are too small. I checked and even into having them custom made. But what I found out is if you run this small of a spacer you are still using the stock hub. So you are okay to run a 3mm or less spacer. Yes you want to make sure you get enough turns also. they are correct on telling you this! factory calls for 8 full turns. I get 6 1/2 or slightly better full turns with my spacers.

my spacers are in fact hub centric. when my rims wouldn't clear my caliper the owner of the shop contacted the manufacturer of my rims (Nad) and they made them for me custom.

they dont actually produce them.. the guy who owed the rim shop knew the owner of Nad Wheels and i guess they had the machine to make them becuase he said they were custom for my car.
