Default Extended Lug Studs

I have run into a bit of a dilemna with my build-up and could use some help! Due to the amount of power I was putting down in my S2000 last summer, I did some damage to my axles and have since replaced them. With the fact that my new horsepower goal for the vehicle is substantially high, I have decided to invest in the Inline Pro Differential Conversion Kit. This kit includes new hubs and extended lug studs (along with driveshaft, axles, and bracketry to mount a 300zx diff).

Here is my dilemna - as I have never been too fond of aftermarket wheels I will be mounting a set of AP2 Wheels on my car. As you all might know, the AP2 Wheels are mounted using a ball seat lug nut. With my new extended studs, I will be in need of a ball seat extended lug nut or open end lug nut. To date I have not found such an item and mostly come across conical seat lugs.

Does anyone have a recommendation for my problem?

Thanks,
Chad

Take the OEM lug nuts and cut the top off.

I bought a set of open ended, ball seat lug nuts from my local Acura dealer for about $28 out the door last summer. I can't recall what model they are from, but any parts guy worth a $hit should be able to find them for you.
