You should never use an impact on lugs like those.

I just got the BBK installed, I think it looks great with the Volk GT-S w/ Volk Formula Lugs (painted athens blue)

btw, the rear wheels don't fit anymore cuz of the new brakes

That's what I was thinking. Are your rears so flush that spacers won't fix the problem?

The Volks GT-S for the G/Z are +18 offset in the rear. I've got the rear fenders mildly rolled and I still rub on aggressive cornering and dips, that's with 275 tires. The mechanic estimates I need 11mm to clear the calipers. I was only able to get my hands on a 20mm spacers on short notice and this is how things turned out...

Spacers for our cars only come in 10, 15, 20, etc (that I've been able to find). So even a 15 would stick out too far.

Use 15mm spacers and roll or cut your fenders flat. You'll be fine. Plenty of ppl here running much more aggressive offsets in the rear without issues. GT-S's look great, don't let them go.

I'm not sure if the new rotors bring the wheels out a bit, but I'm thinking 5mm difference may not cut it. But I'm far from a professional in the "aggressive fitment" catagory. New spacers, and even replacing the tires to 265, is less expensive than new wheels. So, I guess I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the feedback, all!

20" Volk Racing GT-C and Volk Formula Lugs w/ black caps (the painted caps didn't last very long)

Also, the rears fit with about 1mm to spare
