Last, if I buy a set of XXR 530's you'd need to buy new lugs?

I've usually bought from known shops or Tirerack in the past and they usually sent everything I needed in a package. This time I'm thinking of trying XXR's. My first time of this type.

Neve have but the tread wear looks good and everything. I was actually looking at these myself but decided to go with the dunlops. Will post pics today or tomorrow with them mounted. Hopefully today they will be delivered

Yeah, I've had great experience in the past with Kumho's and the SPT is actually a better tire than I had years ago so I figured it would suit the BRZ. Also, I don't track it enough to justify the higher prices for better tires. I'm looking for something that's better than what it came with. That's like everything out there right? LOL

You can pick up a set of Gorilla tuner lugs and hub rings off Amazon for around $40-50 shipped, they don't come with anything because they fit so many different cars it would be hard to cover everything.

What size hub rings should I buy for our cars? Seems there are a few different sizes.

What do you mean? Is the image not showing up for you?

JoeBoxer · 03-01-2013, 11:46 PM

Our hub bore is 56.1 and the xxr's are 73.1 so you can just search for both numbers and they should come up.

So to put the XXRs on, hub centric rings are a necessity?

There is a large debate about this, if you are running on the track the plastic ones can melt and the metal ones can get hot and crack. I recommend them but they aren't absolutely neccesssary however you may get some vibration without them.
