i got a 92 integra gsr. i am looking to get rota slips 15x6.5... i have some 16's now with a 38 offset and i can only get about half the lug nut on the wheel stud.. will a higher offset like 40 give me more tread on the wheel stud??

or what is the deal???

I want enough tread so i can get the whole lug nut on??

the car is lowered with eibach prokits (1.5 f /1 r ---> i think)

and will be running 195/50-15's when i get the new rims..

 

The offset of the wheel will not make a difference in the amount of lug thread you get. The lug holes in wheels are drilled after the wheel has been machined and the depth of the lug hole is pretty much standard across the board. The lug nut you are using might just be real tall and will not effect if you get more threads on it or not.
