I just purchased some Stern ST1 wheels. Fronts are 18x8.5 5x112 35mm. Rears are 19x9.5 5x112 35mm. I'm putting stock size tires on these rims.
Reading some of these horror stories, I'm scared to do it myself and I'm scared to have a porfessional shop do it.
I want the offset to be as safe and original as possible I guess, so can I go with no spacers in the front and 15mm hub centric spacers in the back and call it good?
Then the bigger question, if I do no spacers in the front and 15mm spacers in the back, are there specific lug nuts I can buy so that I don't have to grind anything down? I thinik Maxcichon said I would need tapered lug nuts for the Stern ST1's. Do I look for lug nuts of a specific size (length and width) for tuner wheels?
If different spacing or no spacing whatsoever makes it so I can easily buy lugs and not have to modify them, I am also open to that suggestion.
Sorry for the newbish questions. This is my first "fun" car and I want to have it right for when the snow melts and spring comes.

Don't be sorry, that's what this forum is for, I been racing over 30 years, I still learn lots here, it's a great forum. I suggest Eibach spacers, they come with bolts, and fit perfectly. I run a set in the rear, I left the front alone.
