front wheel studs

I am planning to run Centerline Telstars w/ M/T skinnies on the front. I test fitted them recently and there was contact between the wheel and the brake caliper on both sides, contrary to what is reported on the Grapes of Wrath project car. I need to know exact size, part number if you have it, of the aftermarket wheel studs I will need.
Also, when I remount my street wheels/tires, what closed end lug nuts are available that will accomodate the longer studs? I run 17 inch ZO6's on the street.
Thanks!

Re: front wheel studs

I ground off the fins and clips with a grinder to accomodate my skinnies. It took a fair bit of grinding. I did not need to change the studs. I just picked up some of the "Gorilla" nuts that fit inside the wheel. The guy at the parts store matched them up for me, however I don't change the front tires.

On the read I had to have the open ended lugnuts to pass tech without it being a pain in the butt.
