So the question is: How thick can you go on wheel spacers before you need longer lugs?
Follow up question: if I want/need to replace the lugs, what's the best way to be sure I'm getting good ones and not some crappy knock-off alloy that's going to shear off under load?

Highly recommend buying H&R Hubcentric spacers, since they actually come with extended lug studs to accommodate for the additional spacing. Takes all of the guess work out of finding studs that have enough length.
I have 15mm H&R Hubcentric spacers on my BRZ (to help make my 17x7.5 +48 Gram Lights 57Cs not look so wimpy), and they came with lug studs that were exactly 15mm longer than the stock studs, so you get the same lug engagement as factory.
