What will I need? Tuner lugs, fender roll, spacer?

Looking for a quick answer...I posted in the sticky ^^^ but no one has replied yet.

Thanks guys.

What size tires. I ran 15x8 et0 with 205 50 15 and all i needed was a good roll.

Im guessing you wanna be flush/poke a tad. I would maybe go with 15mm spacers and run 215/45/16 or something like that.

Look into what other people are running and check out their pics/specs.

I was thinking 205/215(which one?)/40/16

Do I have to have a spacer?

[Dj Buttchug]

et20 no fender roll is needed at all, unless you run huge rubber. tire needs to be taller to fill the gap id consider 215.45 or even 50 with this depending on how low you want the car to sit without rubbing

Which wheels? XXR makes a lot. I run a 205/50-16 (DZ101 Star Specs) and the 521s, which are 16x8 ET20. No spacers required, roll the front fenders if you drive aggressively though, otherwise they'll fudge themselves up.

How low do you plan on being?

[jaywood]

Right now my front is lip is one iPhone 4 from the ground.

The description of the wheels say: required lugs-tuner lugs. What size tuner lugs do I need?


Will these wheels fit with no spacers? Or should I go with et0.

16x8 et0 or 16x8 et20? Hmmmm.

205/45 if 0et and you will need a flat roll in the rear if it's as low as your front.
215/45 if 20et and you need a minor roll in the rear if it's as low as the front.

You wil never be able to run man-tires with the 0et(unless flares/bodywork).
215/45 will be a square looking fitment and 205/45 will have minor stretch; nothing extreme at all.

I've had both offsets for the same wheel size, 16x8.

16x8 ET20 will be an awesome fit, no spacers needed. A buddy is running Rotas in that size and offset with 225/45 tires and it only needed a rear fender roll. He is on IE3 springs.

Go with the ET20 and stay away from undersized rubber bands.

[jaywood]

Looks like I'll be going et20 with a 215/45.

What lug nuts do I need? How long?

16 x 8 ET20 is a great daily driver fit. I run 205/40 falken 512's. pretty decent stretch because the 512 is on the narrow side.
Edit - forgot you can see my sig and see how they look

Are you getting the CCW replica? that would be sweet!

[jaywood]

Yes^^


Do I need tuner lugs?

[jaywood]

Anyone?

My stock bolts fit my xxr 521 but you need a thin walled socket. The socket barely fits and its easy to scratch the wheel. If you wanna be safe and not scratch your wheel, then tuner bolts are the way to go.

this is my 16x8 +20 front and 16x8 +0 rear if this helps out
