Default Wheel Fitment/Spacers/Extended Wheel Studs Thread

OK first off. I have an '03 GS300 with fenders yet to be rolled, but will be done soon, and dropped on df210s, which will be changed to Tein SS or Stance soon. Secondly, here is my new wheel set up:
AME Shallen CX
Fronts: 19x9 24offset 225/35/19
Rears: 19x10 27offset 245/35/19
with all low disks...i think.
here's a link to the exact wheels:https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=328299

So, I'm going to need extended wheel studs, but I could also go with H&R spacers with the extended studs as well right?. So which direction should I go to get super flush?
Secondly, what type of lug nuts are recommended? Tapered acorn? Or Tapered open ended?
Sorry for the noobness. Still getting used to the transfer from my 240 to the GS.

im a noob to, but sounds like with those offsets it should sit pretty close to flush... maybe just test fit them on to see how it goes and measure to see what size spacers you will need

If you're on springs, that's just about flush. If you're gonna dump it super low, 5-10 in front and 10-15 in the rear. I'd suggest test fitting them first to see how you like it.

Those don't have centercaps that cover the lugs so open ended might look ugly. Most aftermarket wheels require the acorn type.

Nice wheel choice BTW, they're gonna look great on your GS.
