Lug nut question for extended studs

Over the winter I plan on getting a set of 16x7 Slipstreams for Hoosier QTP's with spacers and ARP extended wheel studs.

My question is when I want to put on my stock BBS wheels for normal street driving (I assume I would remove the spacer then too??) what kind of lug nuts will I need for the stock wheel on the extended stud?

And while we're at it, exactly what kind of lug nut is then needed for the Slipstream wheels on the extended stud with the spacer on?

it all depends on how long your studs are extended.

rotas = aftermarket with proper seat

oem = open ended that accommodates stock seat

DO NOT mix them up, they are not interchangeable.

I just cut the caps off the end of the stock lugs, grinded them smooth, and painted them too look pretty lol. Took 30-45min to do a full set and didn't cost me anything.

Go to a local tire shop and get open ended lug nuts, I got a set of 20 for $43 and they had choice for colors as well. As far as the Toyota suggestion goes I would make sure the thread pitch is the same. For my oem wheels I went to Mitsubishi dealership and they had ralliart open ended lug nuts that fit the oem wheels.
