Rim fitment questions

Sorry for the lenthy post. I put a shortened "Coles Notes" version at the bottom.

So I got an s14 with four bolt, bought the hubs and am planning on doing the five lug conversion with 300zx 30mm aluminum brakes up front. Now is the tricky part that gets everyone: rim choice. I have settled on the Racing Hart CR single piece in 18x7.5 (+42 offset) with 225/40R18 Yoko AVS ES100. Now with that offset, I would probably need spacers and lenthened studs to A) clear calipers up front and B) push out the rear wheels to make it flush with rear fenders. Now upon doing some simple calculations and measurements, I'm thinking 60mm Nismo stud with 20 mm spacer out back, and 50 mm Nismo studs with 10 mm spacer out front. Now my two questions are: will a 10 mm spacer out front combined with the rim offset of +42 clear the calipers with this kind of rim? The spokes on the CR don't look like it will allow clearance because they are sort of straight. Secondly, are my choices of spacers and studs correct? Or should I just get 60 mm studs and 20 mm spacers all around? I tried contacting PDM but I guess they're swamped with e-mails so I didn't want to bother them with another e-mail.

Coles Notes:
-s14 doing 5 lug conversion and Z32 30 mm front brake conversion
-chose racing hart CR single piece 18x7.5 (+42) w/ 225/40R18
-need to clear front z32 caliper and make rim flush with fender.
-10 mm spacer and 50 mm stud (front) and 20 mm spacer/60mm stud (rear) okay to clear caliper and make wheels flush?

Thanks in Advance
