I have the Rays 57Dr in 18x8.5 with 38 offset and they fit fine. Slightly more poke in front than is prob legal but it's acceptable.

The OEM wheel nuts fit fine. Having said that they look like crap are a soft metal and will cross thread if you don't screw on by hand first.

Invest in some decent STEEL nuts and a set of lock nuts. Sure they can be gotten off eventually but making it as hard as possible is the idea.

I have the Muteki SR48 open end in red and a set of McGard spline drive and while the Muteki look good, anodised red, they started scratching the first time I used them while the McGard are still brilliant. The McGard have the spinning seat that are a lot easier on the wheel bolt hole seats.

I'd advise keeping your OEM wheels and nuts and refitting them when you get your car serviced. Most dealers don't give a shit about how they treat after market wheels and decent nuts.

Oh and make sure you get some hub rings to suit and remember to remove them when putting OEM wheels back on.
