To predict the solubility of the compounds you should base on solubility tables.

I used one from wikipedia. If you google "solubility table" you will find this table as first option.

There I found that nickel, potassium and sodium chlorides are very soluble with solubilities of two digits. While lead clhoride has a solubility close to 1 g per 100 g of water. Then lead is the ion that will precipitate with certainty.
