Lug nuts for 18x9.5 +38 RPF1
Aright guys I have Enkei RPF1's in 18x9.5 +38 offset. I recently installed the Ichiba 20mm spacers with the studs for the front. For the lug nuts, the shop I ordered the wheels from told me the Work RS lug nuts will work. After putting the rim on the hub I noticed the lug nut didn't have much space to go in when tightening. Are these the correct lug nuts to use or should I have gone with a longer lug nut for example the Ray's ones? Or is the stud that came with the Ichiba 20mm spacers too short and I have to run ARP extended studs? Any help would be appreciated
Here's a link of the Work ones they gave me:

Are your spacers bolt on or do you use longer studs and slip the spacers over them?
I would hope they bolt on and have their own studs. In this case I'd bet the closed end lug nuts you bought are bottoming out on the studs before they are tight enough to securely hold the wheel on. I would use open end extended lugnuts.

It's these ones (I'm guessing they're the version 1?):
