Lug Nut size with spacers?

Probably a dumb question hence I’m asking it here, I just got some new 19” rims to replace the OEM on my sport coupe, long story short to clear the calipers I need spacers, was planning on getting them anyway,
20mm front
15mm rear

What size extended lugnuts do I need?
id prefer them to be black, if anyone else has had to order black ones for the same dimensions needed drop a link pretty please

thanks for all the help , this community has helped tremendously since I got my car and I still have lots to learn lol

I assume you're getting bolt-on spacers, if so you need standard 12x1.25 thread conical/tapered seat lug nuts. Even if you don't run spacers you will need new lug nuts w/ almost all aftermarket wheels, you MUST NOT use stock Infiniti mag-style lug nuts on aftermarket wheels w/ tapered/conical seats, your wheels will get destroyed and could result in unsafe wheel connection. Here's one example on Amazon, the Gorilla set works well, just BE SURE to select the 12x1.25 thread version
Amazon Amazon

BTW, the nuts that come on the spacers are pretty soft metal and round off quite easy, you MUST use a 6pt socket w/ those and be sure to have the socket fully seated when tightening. You will tighten the spacers to 80-85 ft lbs, then re-check torque after 50 miles and every tire rotation/oil change which ever comes first.

Do the wheels you're purchasing have pockets behind them to clear the OEM studs? The 15mm is thin, and will result in the studs poking out past the spacer. If the wheels don't have it, they won't sit flush and you won't be able to mount the wheels. I would not run a slip-on spacer in that width without extended studs. See the image below.
