Did you drill your spacers? I've looked at the ET lug nuts before but they don't fit a lot of spacers or aftermarket wheels because the "extension" is 15.75mm in diameter. They're otherwise a slick alternative to extended studs.

Ha ha thanks!P/s: I was super envious of your access to a lathe btw…I called and drove around the area for quite a bit to gain access to one before eventually settling on the solution above.
Here's what I bought and what I recommend for any garage:
19-3/16" 3/4 HP Combo Lathe/Mill
<h1>G4015Z 3/4 HP Combo Lathe/Mill</h1> <h2>This lathe/mill combo is not your basic benchtop machine!</h2> <p>The G4015Z is a precision metalworking lathe/mill. The lathe features a 16-1/2" swing, 19-3/16" between centers, and 6 speeds ranging from 185 to 1455 R.P.M. <p>The lathe cuts inch and...
Nope didn’t have to drill the spacers. Not sure what the OD of these extended-shank lugs were though but I can measure them if you need; they so happen to fit snugly with the wheel and spacer stud holes.

Went pretty aggressive in the spacer sizing. 35mm front and 45mm rear. Obviously not concerned about range looking more to have the sidewall poke but tread even with fender. Might be a little much.

I worry about breaking the flaps. I do sometimes hit when my front wheels roll off objects like Speed bumps, exits of driveways, parking lots and so on. I’m in FL so I don’t have to worry about road debris much.
Anyone know of good flexible mud flaps that can take a beating.

I have these ones. The rear doesn't go down further than where the fender stops, and the front one only drops ~1 inch or so.
I don't think I'm as low as you, but I've got these tsportline Performance 1"/1.2" drop coils:

Anyways, I'm pretty darn happy with them after a little parting line flash cleanup on the flaps.

I new you were going to ask. It was thunder storming like crazy yesterday so I didn't grab any, but I'll go get a couple when the sun comes up.

Got em. Thanks. My rear diffuser looks like it covers the rear more than the mud flaps but I have nothing on the front. Might either go mud flaps on the front or side skirts.

That stance does look really good... Maybe I'll try slapping my big spacers back on again and seeing how I like it. I didn't have it lowered before when I was targeting tread at the fender instead of wheels at the fenders.
Either way, next set of tires will be wider and get rid of the stretch so I'll have to start all over!

Do it. I like it a lot and no rubbing problems.
I hear ya. We are never done.
So if I was to get 15mm all around with stock uberturbines, it would bolt on without issues? I'm stock height now but will be lowering on coils about 2 finger gap.
We've been sold out on spacers for a while. Here's a long awaited restock!!!
