i figured it was probably a typo since i have never heard of a NP spacer and the p and O are right next to each other on the keyboard. but that was what i was thinking with the spacers.

Do you mean is the stud hitting the top of the lug nut before I can fully tighten them. If this is what your asking I don't think so. There is about 3/8" of an inch to 7/16" of an inch exposed before putting the lug nut on.

2nd Gorilla lugs. One last thing, are sure the lugs are OEM spec? Just want to rule out that a previous owner changed the studs and lugs to a new size/spec without your knowledge. Good luck!

Thats the thing... The other owner had a BBK on his Z. I called the maker of the rim and they told me you have to use special lug nuts with their rim. 5 bucks a nut and 15 for the key. Hopefully this will do the trick. If not the rims will be up for sale. Not going to take any chances. Thank you to everyone for all their help. I'm pretty new to mod'n Zs and have a lot to learn. Thanks again.

So $115 for lugs and key on a set of Motegis
I have a set of Motegis on my wifes Altima I use the gorilla lugs i also have hub centric rings but I doubt the lack of them would cause the nuts to shake off 
i would buy gorilla lugs I cant see spending $115 on lugs for a set of wheels that likely cost $500
