Open ended lugs?

What's up everyone. I'm having a dilemma with my lugs and I was hoping someone could help. I had to extend my OEM studs to put on my aftermarket rims. Now that winter is approaching I want to put back on my OEM rims again and I'm having a hard time trying to find the correct lugs. I obviously can't use the OEM lugs because my new studs are 50mm long. I measured the shank on the OEM lug, which if I'm not mistaken is a mag seat lug, and the shank is .625" long when it is measured without the washer. With the washer it shortens the length to about .500". Gorilla makes a few open end mag seat lugs but the closest they come in length would be .500" without the washer and .750" without the washer. Can anybody suggest what the correct size to go with is? Am I even correct in assuming the OEM lugs are mag seat lugs? Or does anyone know a place that will make good quality custom lugs? A place that makes custom lugs would great because I could possibly have them make locks as well which I can't find any mag seat open end locks. Thanks in advance for any help.
 
What about the option of finding some spacers since you already have extended studs?
 
I may just have to do that, didn't even think of that!! :shoots self in head: lol Do you know how much I'm been stressing out trying to find lugs? Someone told me that spacers weren't good on AWD vehicles, even though I'm running them with with the aftermarket wheels. Too bad I can't use those because they are hubcentric to the aftermarket rim. Now comes the task of figuring out how thick to buy the spacers so the OEM lugs will fit.

Just did the measurements the and the 50mm stud is about 3/4 of an inch longer than the OEM stud so I'm assuming the spacer would have to be 3/4 of an inch thick? That equals out to be 19.05mm, probably the best solution I will be able to come up with. Thanks Soon.
