tire and wheel size
Has anyone tried using a 18 x 10 rear wheel with wider than 275s? 295/30 is the same outside diameter as the stock tires 255/35 and I think they will fit on a 10in wheel just not sure about the clearance. maybe with an et 45 would work? Any Ideas?
Thanks CEK for trying to help.

Perfect offset for a 10" is 53mm to 54mm and only using a 285.
I have 10" with a +54 running 295's and they barely rub and to be honest the 295 that I am using is actually narrow compared to most 295s.
Hope this helps

Cars lowered in the front with H&R springs and just 5mm spring pads with OEM springs in the rear. The car came with 13mm pads. I chose not to install the rear springs because I don't like the rear to sit lower than the front. Right now it sits even.
Sorry I am not a pic person. Honestly I don't like to post much on forums. There are way too many negative nancys
If you have questions, you can always PM me. Trust me, I know my wheel apps...

Today was a beautiful day, so I decided to wash my car and take some pictures to share with everyone. The wheels are 19" HRE 590R's. 8.5" fronts and 9.5 rears.

Not sure if this is the right place for it but i assume people who run aftermarket rims would be interested in new lugs. Rays is now offering two piece lug bolts and matching locking lug bolts. Not sure of their availability, I just saw them in the 2011 catalog and thought i'd share.
5000yen x 4 + 6500 = 26500yen ~= $323msrp Not exactly a cheap set of lugs but they look pretty!

Well apparently the seat of the bolt is free spinning, to reduce the amount of metal on metal rubbing when you tighten the bolts. I'm not sure what it's made of and how much they weigh. I haven't been able to find much info about them in the Internet.
