My wheels:16x7 Front, +35mm offset16x8 Rear, +38mm offest

Spacers:10mm (set of 4), hub-centric

I would like a flushed look if its possible with this setup.

Anywho, I know the lugs I need are 12x1.25mm but I'm notsure what kind of lugs I need or whether I would need stud extensions. Open end, closed end, etc. etc.

I have searched the FAQ and google but nothing convincingfound yet. I'm gonna keep searching some more in the meantime.

You can see my wheels here: http://240sx.cubicdesign.com/picpage12.php

Thanks

Those wheels have lug nut covers(aka center caps)

all you need are 12x1.25 conical seat lug nuts, open end(they're short ones) to easily fit underneath the cap.

The rule of thumb for thread engagement is simple: lug nut engagement with the stud, must equal stud width.

A flush fit with fenders, will rub under hard compression. Where's the logic there?
