Default A questions about spacers and lug nuts

I ve spent the last three weeks figuring out everything for my new set of wheels
I HAVE A 2006 lexus is 350 stock height and bought
19x8.5+35
19x9.5+45
235 35 19
265 30 19
i go to get everything put on and since i have 5mm spacers to clear the brakes in the front, the studs aren't long enough to screw enough times to be safe. THey said the lug nut only spun around 2 and a half times which they wouldnt let me drive off with.
So now i guess i need extended lug nuts?
can anyone tell me which ones to get
how long i should get them
etc etc
any suggestions help anything would be nice
thank you
PICS WILL BE SOON THE CAR WAS JUST PAINTED FLAT BLACk

Yea your going to need extended studs, These will work, buy 2 sets from this guy. Good Luck man, replacing the studs isnt too bad. I did quite a few on my older cars.

you don't need extended lug nuts. you DO need extended wheel studs.

if you bought ichiba type I spacers, they should have come with the kit. if not, you will have to buy new wheel studs.

you can get extended wheel studs here...

or ask one of CL's authorized venders to shoot you a quote.

You'll be good with the studs only. Good luck!

To be safe, you should get spacers with built in studs (Ichiba v2, Project Kics, Fic). At least that's what most boards recommend. I know I'll be doing so if I purchase spacers.

That's up to you, the 50mm are good with spacers up to 20mm. I'd day go ahead and get the 50mm

skotty,

Please use a descriptive title when you start a thread in the future (updated this one for you). "HELLPPPPP HelPPPPPP HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP" just makes a lot of people not want to help.

Thank you.

yeap try to getatleast 6 to 7 spins before they get tight.
the 5mm in the front would be perfect balance between looks and convenience. ann on the rear you can get a 10mm spacer to flush it
