Which Lugs to Get?

hey guys,

i have hre 545r 19 x 8.5 front, 19 x 9.5 rear on my car and when i was getting new tires on them, the shop said my lugs were not quite long enough to have adequate rotations. i think mine only had 4 turns where i was advised to have around 7 or so for safety. i konw i need 12 x 1.5 lug bolts and i called hre they said 23-25mm, i am running a 5mm h&r spacer in front (because of H&R coilovers - but i may reduce spacer), so what kind of lugs should i get. i think sizing i can find out from lug manufacturer, but what brand do you guys recommend?

i saw rogue engineering makes some for bmw aftermarket wheel / spacer applications, 12 x 1.5 bolts like what hre said to get:

my lugs only had 4 turns also. i got some 5 turns one that the shop had on hand. i dont think 7 turns will fit our cars though... it will hit the brake drums.

thanks for the input silva. what did you end up doing - 5 turn lugs is safe enough? even with your power, you feel confident with 5 turns? do you mind sharing the brand / cost / etc? i went to kragen and stuff like hre said to do but they said they didn't carry my style of lugs. thanks.
