and as for the lugs, i have 2 choices from summit based on the info i have gathered:

WLD-601-1422
comes in set of 4 for $13.99 ea.
shank length: 1.379in

WLD-601-1452
comes in set of 5 for $9.99 ea.
shank length: 0.550in

looking up the rims on summit, it shows:
Lug Nut Shank Length (in): 1.300-1.380 in.

So i would be safe to go with the first option but its $69.95 as were the second one is $39.96. can i get away from using the .550in since its an OPEN END lugnut? or do i got to spend another $30?

please help i want to get these rims on.

I have 1/4 spacers and needed 3.25" to be legal.
The stud must stick out past the lug washer the same distance as the diameter as the the stud it self, 12mm or a 1/2inch if you use 1/2 inch studs

They won't look to good with the stock wheels though.
kevin and stenod gave me some tips though.
when using the stock wheels, use your stock lug nuts, then put some chrome acorn nuts on over the rest of the stud. that way all you can see is the acorn and the stud doesn't stick out.

good tip but my stock lugs are a closed end lug, i will have to use the weld lugs if i put my stock rims back on, which who knows if i will.

McGard makes the best open ended lugs, they don't corrode.

I went with ARP on the front 2.5 metric closed ends on the lugs. On the rear I went with ARP 1/2 studs with open end lugs. Kyles right it was about 130 shipped.

I kind of have the same question, I posted in the tire/wheel section, I have 1/2x20 studs, 3.5 long, running weld prostars, I know I need the 1/2x20 open ended lugs, but what shank size and what length for the weld wheels.
