Default Which lugs with Prostars and stock studs?

I'm going to grind enough on my calipers to avoid using a spacer and aftermarket studs. Which lugs will I need? I've done plenty of searches and am still confused. I see the 12mmx1.5 but then I see different shank lengths. Do I go with the longest possible (1.365 on Jegs website)? Do I need to order washers with them? I need help

The longest ones may be too long and hit the rotor hat before locking down the wheel.
Take your wheel to a place that sells deep shank lug nuts and find the right length and then order those. 12x1.5mm is the thread pitch of the stud.

they don't have to be, but I would go with open ended so you can see how far the lug goes down and if you get longer studs you won't have to buy new lug nuts.

Ok thanks for the help. I narrowed down which lugs I need, but since I'm not using a spacer like most do, I'm wondering if the 1.38" shank will be too long. I hate to buy a set and them not work.

I decided to snap a few pics of stock wheels with longer studs so you can see how they'll look, these are 3.5" GM studs,
