So for track purposes, I'm planning on replacing my OEM studs with ARP Studs, however they're ~25mm+ longer than OEM studs. I intend to use the hubcentric 20mm Spacers (non-bolt ons) to take up the additional length of the extended stud while getting the benefit of pushing the wheels out for looks, however, the new setup will have 5mm+ additional stud length over the OEM setup.

Will my Stock OEM (Enclosed) Lug Nuts w/Lock have enough room to work?

If I don't go with the option of replacing the lock nut w/ plain OEM lug nut and then hacking them to open, is there any aftermarket options you guys found which will have the "Shank" seating?

I've called Z1 motorsport and they said Gorilla makes some extended Lug Nuts which have Shank seating. Anyone tried this?

Thanks for all the help!
