Default Lug nuts too long?

I have the Vossens CV1 (concave) with some temporary lug nuts, the front wheels looks flush with the lug nuts, but the rear ones stick out too much due to concaveness?

I'm thinking of getting Project Kics Neo Chro lug nuts, they're offering R26 and R40. Is it true that I should buy 2 boxes because one box isn't enough for the whole car? will the R26 will fit properly on the rear? I mean I don't want them stick out too much.

Sorry, I'm new to this.

EDIT: I will post pictures later.

r40s will stick out. Get the R26 and only one box is necessary. One box should come with 16 regular lugs and 4 locks. 5 total lugs for each wheels.

Before


After

I expected the R26 to be shorter, but I'm completely satisfied though, love to show them off. much better than the old ones.

Thanks guys!
