lug nuts converted!
the rear doesn't have the 5mm spacer, so the bolt is flush with the end of the open tip. I might get another set of 5mm spacer from BBS now.
here's the front

They are the 60mm. The 50mm probably wouldve been better, but oh well... :/ because i calculated using the front and forgot that i have shorter bolts for the rear.

Out Of Control!!
I don't know - as is, the lugbolt isn't fully engaged (yes, I realize that it's an extended open design - Muteki?) as is, so 50 mm would only make that situation worse. If it were me, I'd prefer the bolts past the nuts, so a 65/70/75 would be better, but I guess I'm more paranoid than you are.
They do look mahhhvelous, to quote Billy Crystal.

Ended up running 265/35 in the back, so not gonna order spacers anymore. 265 were free and it will last till i need to change all four. I will probably end up running 235 265 again. No rubbing since i raised the car up and thanks to the firm pss9 no rubbing even with 4 ppl.
