So I've pretty much settled on the wheels, bought the tires and have the hub centric rings on order, but...

What is the thread for our lug nuts? I'm buying some gorrilla lugs and it seems there are 2 different thread sizes? Any info would be appreciated.

I believe it's 12x1.25? But could be wrong. Probably very easy to check when type in lug but size in google search bar

I'm guessing he's running 18 x 9.75 +20mm
lowered on coils with some nice camber (-2* maybe)

Just a guess though..

Oh.. and that night shot is an amazing picture! very cool!

VADER · 04-17-2013, 01:38 PM

I believe it was actually 8.75 but I could be wrong..

ps. great setups by the way.

VADER · 04-17-2013, 02:24 PM

Stretches are for fitment and looks. A tire can be the right spec for the wheel, and not fit in the wheel well. Therefore, stretch comes into play to fix the problem. Also, people do it for looks. Just like "stanced", "lowered", "slammed", these are all fads of today. It is the continuing "fashion" of cars that keeps us interested. If everyone had the same taste and the same opinions, none of us would be on here really.

Guys, what do you think of these lugs?

Any comments? Opinions?

BTW, I bought the Subaru factory wheel locks and will probably use them on the XXR 530's unless one of you guys tells me that they're not compatible or shouldn't be used on aftermarket wheels.

Those lugs nor the factory wheel locks will work because they are an acorn style lug.

You need tapered lug nuts also known as tuner lugs.

Really? Geeze, I really didn't want to have to spend all that money on lugs that I'll never tough after installing the wheels. I mean what's the point of buying expensive lugs when you got cheap wheels? Back to the drawing board I guess.

JT86 · 04-17-2013, 09:39 PM

Check these out, they are relatively cheap and good quality. I have used them on my previous wheels and bought a new set for my new wheels.
