Thanks for the reply but I'd like to, if possible to keep my stock lock key on the rays as it's gonna be my DD. I have a feeling someone's gonna jack my Rays. Therefore I'd prefer not to use open lug nuts for the DD set of wheels.

Is there a way I could use 75mm ARP studs and rather than hacking on the OEM lug nuts to make it open I can hack on the ARP studs and make it shorter to make it work for both my scenarios?

I rather get a different spacers if needed for the Stock Rays and a set of open lug nuts (instead of closed lug nuts) for the track wheels than to hack on my OEM lug nuts.

-The best situation is to be able to hack on the ARP stud and get closed lug nuts for both situations.

Please advise. Thanks!

My idea is:
Rays Wheels (Daily Driver)
Front: 19x9 ET 47 with 20mm Spacer (Overall Offset: 27)
Rear: 19x10 ET 30 with 25mm Spacer (Overall Offset: 5)

Enkei PPF01 (Track Wheels)
Front: 18x10.5 ET 38 with 10mm Spacer (Overall Offset: 28)
Rear: 18x10.5 ET 38 with 20mm Spacer (Overall Offset: 18)
