Ichiba spacers on 2nd Gen, what lugs do i need?

Do you guys know if the current Ichiba spacers come with the longer shank-style lugnuts (which is needed for 2nd gen) or do they use the conical setup?

Thanx

They don't come with any lugnuts for the wheels...just special ones to hold the spacer to the rotor.

^Yes.
Spacers don't come with lugnuts, they come with spacer mounting nuts. (see the DIY section)

It's the wheels that determine which type lug nut to use.

it should still be the same in regards to mounting the spacers/rims combo.

with the 335i my 10mm spacers came with longer lug bolts, which replaced the OEM and my summer (BBS) wheels

Yup bolts vs studs.
But it's not just a Japaneses thing; most mfgs use wheel studs.
I never did like wheel bolts on my BMW.
It's much easier changing wheels with studs.
A lot of BMW guys that track their car, install studs.
