Lug Nut Question
Ok - I would like to purchase some red lug nuts. I have 3/8 spacer on the rear and 1/4 spacer on the front. I am currently using the extended thread lug nuts. I am looking to purchase the following lug nuts and I am unsure if they will work or not with the spacers. I am also not sure on the Pitch size. These are: Pitch Size: 12x1.5 - M12x1.5 - 12 x 1.5. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

The Corvette lug studs are M12x1.5 threads, and our wheels require a cone-seat lug nut with a 60* angle - so those will work on stock lug studs and any wheel that uses our stock lug nuts.
With your spacers, if you have enough lug stud sticking out for the stock lug nuts to grab onto, the ones you're looking at should work okay too.

Since I have the spacers, I need a lug nut that will sit into the rim, so that the lug nut will grab some more threads. When I purchased the wheel spacers from a member of this site, he supplied me with the extended length lug nuts, which work perfect, I would just like to change the color to red. Thanks.

That sounds like you want a MAG lug nut - which you can only use if you have the wheels for them. Do you?
Any acorn style lug nut will work just like your stock lug nut.
Question: Do you have extended studs? Doesn't sound like it.
Although, the ones you listed in your original post will work - there is no need for them unless you have really long studs.
If you are still using stock wheels and stock studs, you should probably just buy stock looking red lug nuts
