Use all flanged bearings in the front. No, the wheel does not hide the nut.
You have to shim each side equally on the rear. When you built your car you should have centered the rear axle on the car (make the distance from the outside of the wheel to the centerline of the chassis equal on both sides). You add or subtract shims equally from each side to make the car wider or narrower; maximum width is 172mm. The Parma wheels have an offset on the back (Jacos are flush) so using Parmas on a car set up for Jacos will give you a narrower overall width. So you add shims equally on both sides to make up the difference.
