So after looking at the backside of the wheels and looking at our hub and calipers I knew the front were going to hit the calipers and I was right. I had to keep the 10mm spacers up front for them to clear but I'm ok with it because it actually pushes it out enough to match how much the rear pokes out. That means I'll have to run a little more camber in the front so I'll be getting the fluted bolts along with the SPC eccentric bolts so I can have more adjustability in the front. Heres some fitment pics and how much they poke out. So I'm going low, stretched, and negative camber.
Front poke
Rear poke
How they look on the car
Sooo pretty

The Muteki's SR48 are actually constructed of 50BV30 steel instead of aluminum like some other brand lugs. They are still light, 2oz per lug. Steel lugs are what OEM lugs are constructed out off. They are more durable and have a better holding and contact surface than the aluminum lugs. Like the inserts of my CCW race version, the inserts for the lugs are steel because it gives the lugs a better contact surface.

open end accommodates if you're running longer racing studs on the car. Having longer studs is for safety so if the lugs does come loose it has a longer way to travel to come off so the wheel can stay on longer. Most extended lug nuts opened or closed are about 44mm tall so if you have a longer stud then that then you'll need open end so it can go all the way in to tighten the wheel like so.

I generally don't prefer the chrome or polished center sections on wheels, but yours do look very nice. It looks like they'll look great on the car! I'm sure you'll post some good pictures!

ok rolled fenders and lowered the rear some more it was sitting higher than what I wanted. So after some MAJOR rolling and pulling the wheels sit nice and flush. I grinded down the bracket some more in the rear just for a safety. Heres some shots of how it came out. Yes I know my car is FLITHY... Gonna was her tomorrow.
