extended reach lug nuts for a Camaro?

Does anyone know, or have experience with, using extended reach lug nuts on their 6th gen Camaro? This seems like a great way to fix the thread issue that occurs when a spacer is used. Thing is, I can not seem to find a lug nut that is extended reach, has a conical seat, and is made for a Camaro (14mm x 1.5).

Although I haven't used them yet, McGard spline drive lug nuts are longer than the "standard" 64074 ones that I have on my car. Here is a link to the black version, they have chrome as well: https://mcgard.com/product/black-con...lation-tool-2/

Gorilla sells ET lug nuts in a variety of styles in chrome and black.

I tried poking around their site, and I found various lug nuts that were conical, extended, or 14mm x 1.5, but I did not see any that had all three. That is why I thought I'd come here and ask to see if there was some odd reason a lug nut like this may not be made.

Doing some further poking around the web, I found these:

No idea who the manufacturer is, so I am reluctant to get them. the extra length at the neck is what I believe would be helpful if using a spacer.

I found these on the Gorilla web site. I'm running the 26148ETBC lug nuts with aftermarket wheels. The 26148ETBC is a smaller diameter lug nut that might not work for OEM wheels. I'm not sure about the diameter of the E-T/ULTRA lug nuts in the top picture so I don't know if they would work for you or not.
