I originally planned on 255, but tire choices are limited, plus the rim is 8.5" wide, which is 216 mm, so 245 mm tire is already wider.

mysql101

those who have gotten the rims, do the lug nuts that came with it fit on your car?

So one of my rims couldn't be installed because the hub wasn't bored out big enough........ anyone else have this problem?

mysql101

That's exactly what I thought, but I shifted the rims around and eventually found the sweet spot where it clicked in.

really? ill give that a shot!

mysql101

yeah, I was really bummed at the prospect of returning the rims,, but they have a nice tight fit. once you realize it, then it's easy to flip them on. But it's not like stock where you can just push it somewhere in the area and it kinda slops on. You need to lift it up and press it in the right spot.

hmmmm, 3 of them fit with no problem at all though....... it was just that last one that gave some trouble. It started raining so ill have to wait for it to die down before i can give installing it another shot. If anything ill try to find a local shop that would bore it out. Gruppe-S already told me they would reimburse me the fee to have it done. A+ company if you ask me!!

I'm wondering if you could get a cheapo cylinder honing tool (available at most autoparts store) and remove enough material to get it to fit. These were made for the Nissan bore (66.1 mm if I recall) and we need 67.1mm.

I missed out on this deal but someone local is selling a set for $1500 with brand new 245/40 tires so it works out to a really good deal. I'd just have to get the bores opened up to fit.

lol man, i saw that same set of nismos local and wanted to pick em up to daily on. unfortunately, i just dont have money ><

Tried that already. Also tried installing that rim on another corner of the car where another rim already fit. Nothing worked.

So what lug nuts will fit these rims? I just bought a set of Rays 12 x 1.5 mm. Please don't tell me I just threw away $100.

LabDad

So you spent $100 on lug nuts not knowing if they'd fit your car? That's not to smart, good thing you're lucky 'cause 12 x 1.5 will fit

davinci74

Well, I did look into the lug nuts and that's why I bought that size, smart guy. I was just wanted to be sure after reading c0ldf1ame's post. I also went by mysql101's post that the rims were coming with rays lugs, but unfortunately, that didn't turn out to be true either.

mysql101

my rims did come with lug nuts, but they do not fit our car. They only turn about 180 degrees before it stops threading.

i need to find out the size, so I can sell them off on ebay - cause they're useless for us.

LabDad

Since they came w/ wheels made for Nismo I'd guess that they're 12 x 1.25 which would fit Nissans and Subys. Of the top of my head I don't know what other makes use the 12 x 1.25.
