Which ones would you get for Rota's?

I guess I dont totally understand how these lugs provide more thread engagment.

you may be able to if your studs are small enough.

one big reason the 18x9.5s +38mm's don't clear is b/c the caliper is too close to the center of the wheel. People with "big" brake kits sometimes luck out in this aspect. I know a guy on EvolutionMR.net did once he put his stoptechs on.

with the 17" the caliper will be towards the outside of the wheel where there is more clearance.

the threads go past the taper seat and into the lug hole itself. i dont know if they will fit rotas, but if they dont, all you have to do is drill them out with a 5/8" drill bit. its very easy to do and harmless to the wheels. you need part #6805et. i dont know if the key is included or the quantity, but just tell them you need 20 lugs and a key. SPLINE LUG NUTS
