Lugs yes, lug nuts no. You need acorn style lug nuts. The size doesn't matter when it comes to the style of lug nuts.

OK so a lot of people seem to be running muteki open ended SR48 lug nuts in 12x1.25. So longer sizes like 1.5 would work too?

Of course they would work, longer would do nothing but give you more visible lug nut and stick out from the mounts.That is a visual preference decision you will have to make.

Matte bronze also looks great on WRB .

Yeah but I've noticed a few people reporting issues with the bronze paint chipping/flaking.

[B-R-Z]

Yes, including me. Plenty of people who say they have no issues though. Either they lie or its happening only on occasional batches. They are going in for powder coating this winter, hoping they can match the color.

What would you guys recommend to use for lowering? I have a set of 17x8.25 xxr 527's on the way and trying to decide between eibach pro kit or sportline. Probably just gonna run stock tires until they wear out. Any input?

[B-R-Z]

If you want a slightly better ride with a drop that looks clean and functional go pro kit. If you want more of a drop (extra 1/2" or so) at the expense of harsher ride go sportline. This has been discussed a lot and there are tons of pictures of both. What's most important to you, more drop or better ride?

[k.houan]

Hmm. I'll have to think about that one. Thanks for the info though.

So I see some guys here running the stock primacies on my wheel setup. But I was just told that doing so would possibly be unsafe? Can someone running the same setup and stock tires chime in?

I'm looking for the same setup for summer so i was researching this as well. People were fine with the stretch.

I used the stock Michelins with those 17x8.25 et25 for a while without any glitches . I have some pics in this thread somewhere .... Even powdercoated it in a candy red before i sold them .
