So I'm swapping my factory 19x9 19x9.5 GT PP wheels to Velgen 20x9 20x10.5.

I'm a bit confused on what nuts to get. Length etc. I know I need a 14mm x 1.50.

I'm not a really a specialist on wheel nut info, so figured it'd be best to check.

Would I also need a stud/bolt for the rear? Since it's going from a 9.5 to 10.5?:shrug:

To make things worse, it seems utterly impossible to find black/flat black nuts in Australia.

Would these fit:

You will not need to change the wheel studs or have extended lug nuts. New wheels will not change or affect the thickness of the wheel mounting pad, though you may need smaller diameter lug nuts to fit in the holes on the new wheels, as the factory lug nuts are a fairly large diameter, and even with a thin-wall socket they might not fit inside the new wheels.

I know you're in Austrailia, but these are what you need:

Thanks for your help man. That makes sense.

How long should they be though? There's so many different variations of the 14mm x 1.50. Ranging from 25mm to 48mm in length.

You didn't mention which Velgens you are getting, but for what it's worth, I ordered just 4 locking lugs; http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-71641nbc/overview/ which are 1.4" long and they sit pretty deep in my Stance SF03 wheels. Could have probably used a 2" long lug and been fine, something like this http://www.summitracing.com/parts/gor-76645nbc/overview/
