Finally they are on... put them on this tuesday. Took quick snaps because it isn't washed yet, since it's gonna rain this weekend. I'll wash the car once the weather has cleared up and then take more pics. Enjoy

Looks like you didn't have any issues with the lug bolts.

Thanks.

Nope, no problem at all. Luckily, the shop that I went to had a whole array of different bolts, and found the correct one with ease.

Too many to list
Can anyone confirm if these will fit because I'm ready to purchase them. I called the site for info but they are not very helpful. They only know what the computer screen shows them. Thanks.

How can anyone here give you better information than what the computer screen shows us? According to the specs, they should fit, but then again, the wheels in Frank W's group buy had et30 offset up front, and they didn't clear the front calipers on some cars. I would hesitate to tell you that they would fit because I'd feel bad if they didn't. There's only one way to find out!

Got the wheels on all the way now have some rubbing in the back though any thoughts what it could be? I will take the wheel off in a few days and see if I find any wear marks. The wheels are ruff 19 8.5 235/35/19 front and 19 265/30/19 rear 35mm offset with 5mm spacer all the way around with stock suspension. Not sure if it needs lowered or not yet.

By the look of it you might need to roll the fender. What tyre are those?? It look mighty fat. There are usually two common places where the tyre rub, one is fender which can be solved by rolling and the other one is the edge of the chrome strip part of the bumper. You can identify which part is rubbing by the sound of it, if u rub a fender, the sound is very sharp and almost hurt, if u rub a bumper it's as loud but kinda hollow.
