I had put 3mm spacers to get it to clear on the way to the shop, but I'm thinking I'll take those out now that I have a lot more clearance.
On a side note, it was mentioned to me by the shop that I shouldn't use OEM lug nuts with aftermarket wheels. Apparently "normal OEM" nuts are rounded, whereas aftermarket wheels have conical seats. My understanding is that the BRZ stock lug nuts are conical, so I should be good, but wanted to make sure.

The factory FRS/BRZ lug nuts are fine. They come with a 60 degree taper.
Not all factory lug nuts are tapered like the FRS/BRZ lugs, which is why the shop mentioned it.
It still might be worth getting aftermarket lug nuts since the OE lug nuts don't have a seat/ledge on which a socket can rest. Basically, you'll be resting the socket right on the wheel risk rubbing them if you're not careful.
