A- You will need to find out when you buy the wheels, no way for us to tell.

B- You'll be fine, but I suggest trying to find someone to roll them anyways.

C- No, you have selected near good sizes!

D- only issue I see is not knowing the bore of the wheels andthe offsets are a little high for my taste, but that's not an issue, it's an opinion!

Thanks man!
I appreciate the good word. I will see about the hubcentric rings as well and bore sizes when placing the order. On a side note, I know these are popular rims within the G community. Any advice on the lug nuts to use? It just dawned on me that I don't want those nasty OEM lugs on for these. Any suggestions? I know it comes down to three different lug types (Acorn etc) Not sure what I need. Any advice community?

Will have to order today as well.
Thanks again!

First what I plan on picking up, then the questions I have-

MRR GT1 20" - Going with 20" for the better offsets and not needing spacers.
Rims: 20x8.5 +20 Front and 20x10 +25 in rear.
Rubber: 245/35/20 fronts and 275/30/20 in rear.


Questions-
A- Will I need hubcentric rings at all? I know my 06 coupe has a bore of 66.1, i could not confirm the bore of these rims. Can anyone confirm?

B- Car is not lowered but planning on putting coilovers on within the month. Any immediate issues with a moderate drop? Should I immediately be concerned with fender rubbing or can I simply do a small drop and be safe? I am in the middle of nowhere and fender rolling is non existent here.

C- With these tire sizes, will my VDC freak out or will I not have any issues?

D- Can anyone see any other issues with this setup?

Please let me know guys, I am ready to place the order today!
Thanks again, I owe the community BIG for all the help!
I'd say 10mm spacer front and 15mm spacer rear with the setup you've selected.

as for tires, I like the slight stretch look and I think you would too.
so if it was me I would go with 235/30 and 255/30 tires. but will require a larger spacer size to sit flush

Hey everyone. I wanted to get your opinion on these. I've got a guy selling 3 of them on craigslist for $350. I figured I could get him down to $300. I'm worried that with the width of the tire being 9.5 i'm going to have a hard time with my turning radius. However, they sell for 320 each new, so its a good deal. I can always refinish them if they aren't in too bad of shape. What do you think?

Oh and if anyone has any pictures of these rims on their coupe let me know! Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm getting new tires because my current 255/30/20's are causing me to scrape the mid-section of my exhaust. The reason why this is happening is cause I have 245/35/20's on the front wheels which are 26.75" in diameter whereas the rears are currently at 26.02".
I'm gonna be putting 255/35/20's in the rear which will be 27.02" in diameter, so a 1" difference. From what I've been told, this should fix the scraping issue.

Now I'm thinking of going from 245/35/20 in the front to 235/35/20 but that'll mean the front tires will be 0.28" smaller in diameter so I'm worried it'll cause more scraping.

The reason I want to go for the 235/35's is to match the stretch on the rears.
Wheels are 20x9.5 up front and 20x10.5.

Anyone know whether I'll have any problems or will I be ok with this change?

Ok... I have an 05 sedan. I been doing crazy research and this is becoming frustrating and confusing. My question is, can i fit a 20x10 +35 offset on my car. I know that it will rub but if i role the fenders will it still rub or will i be in the clear. My fenders have already been rolled. Someone please answer this damn question.

I just broke one of my lug nut bolts on my driver side front wheel. I'm driving on four on that wheel like some loser ricer. What do i need to replace on an 03 sedan and is it a DIY? If i should just take it to the shop. That's good advice too. Thanks.

I put on a set of G37 Sports I had just bought with thier special lug nuts. Well, those lug nuts have fricken washers. The washer was doing too well of a job and I was getting no real resistance the whole way through. Tore off a stud. Was able to salvage the nut and get the fragment out. Anyways, it happened. Can I fix this fairly easily or is it a pain? What needs replacing? Are these studs behind the rotor? Are they single individual studs or a collective plate? Feed me your knowledge.

Not sure if you can change out your studs without removing the caliper/rotor.

Also, since you're going to have to change one out, you may aswell change out all of them for peace of mind. It shouldn't be too hard once you get the hang of it so just get a set of 20 and change them all. (A six pack of beer might be useful too) lol

All the wheels? Do you know how much work that is? I might as well swap out my rotors and pads too. Maybe i'll upgrade to the 05-06 brakes or brembos while i'm at it. Move on to fixing my compression rods since they squeek. Or how about i change that bad bearing too. I tell you what. Come to think of it, a motor swap at that point isn't a bad idea. Why not just take the whole frame and motor and tranny out and put it in a old 240sx and pull a freak hot rod build. Why not just blow the thing up while i'm at it.
