      For every set of XXR rims I have owned, I have not purchased tuner lugs. The stock lugs work fine, you just need a thin walled socket.

      Like everyone has said +20 on an 8" wheel w/ rolled fenders seems to be the happy medium for perfect fitment (in my eyes). Here are 16x8 +20 w/ 225/40/16 (rolled fenders & pre-face-lift arches)

          Yes sir, I used the stock lug nuts and they worked fine. Thin wall 17mm is a must though ;)

              I will try to get more pics tomorrow for ya. I like the rear with the 20mm spacer because I can rotate my tires without having to get the tires unmounted/mounted/balanced.

                    Those are a size too tall though. 225/45 could be correct.

                      I'm getting the XXR 531 16x8 et0 all around. Last time I had xxr 15x8 et0, my wheel flew off at 30mph in the middle of the night on the stock lug bolts. After examination, they were only fastening on 3 threads. :( I'm going for muteki sr48 open ended version.

                          profile is the side wall height as a percentage of the width. The first number is the width in millimeters. Smaller width on a wider wheel = more stretch.

                              i have 501s at 16x8+15F and +5R with 245/45 with no problems on sports with rolled fenders

                              if youre into a sport type spring with minimal fender rolling, i would recommend 225/45

                              thats such a little tire. if you plan to lower your car at all get yourself some kind of oil pan protection
