Hi everyone,

As u must all know, i was in the market for some OEM 19's.. So I was going to purchase it from the dealership but changed my mind at the last minute cuz a friend of mine (thank you so much jakio) helped me find a deal on a set of HRE.

I placed my custom order, so I'd like some feedbacks from the wheel experts here on this forum if I got it right.

- HRE P40 in brushed with tinted clear
- 19x9 f +45mm
- 19x10 r +55mm
- Hankook Ventus
- 245/35/19f
- 275/30/19r

Keep in mind I'm dropped on H&R spring & don't want rubbing. I'm trying to be flushed though. I went high offset cuz I want to go wide wheels. Am I doing it wrong? Let me know as I have until tomorrow to change the sizing.

One last question, I was told HRE in 19inch uses ball seated lugs (our OEM lugs). Is it true?

I'm so happy to get my dream wheels. Thank u in advance !

Any pictures on hand? What's the deal you got?

I got the P40.. I just ordered them, but I will sure post pics of the wheels when I get them next month. I hope the brushed tinted clear will look good on my car. My SV1 is already brushed, so I wanted something a lil darker.

I got them from wheel boutique, u can PM them for a quote.

Great choice! Can't wait to see on your car!

Man congrats.... I have such a soft spot for brushed finishes, especially on the P40!! I've got to see them in person one day.

I'm also on H&R. My rears are 9.5 with a 50mm offset. My original tires were 275/30-19 and they rub every time I hit a bump. I changed them out to 265/30-19 and only rub on very hard bumps.

^^ Interesting, what brand of tires are you using? I'm surprised you are rubbing on a 19x9.5 +50mm.. I have 19x10 +53mm on my SV1 & i'm not rubbing.. so I'm hoping my HRE will be fine at 19x10 +55mm.

Anymore thoughts anyone on my set-up? And what about the OEM lug bolts compatibility?

Great choice! My HRE takes conical lug bolts, most aftermarket wheels are not ball seat. It might be something you can discuss with them if you want to re-use your OEM ones.

Thanks for the infos.. are your wheels 19's or 20's? I was told 20's needs cone seated lug & 19's ball seated.

Well, I have both conical & ball seated lugs (OEM) at home, but I was told to use the OEM... so I just wanted to confirm so I can use the right lugs. Thx again Thrilla.

We will make the wheels to ball or conical, all depends on you. Please make sure you tell your dealer which one you want.

Congrats on joining the HRE family!

Brotha man, welcome aboard Meng!
Cant wait till you get these bad boys installed on your beast!
You will be safe with those offsets and can easily run a 245/275 setup.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Josh

This.

Good choice Meng ! Can't to see them installed
I ordered Rennen M10 last month
I'm going to sell them and get HRE's

I'm running the Yoko Advan AD08s on the 275 then now 265. My Hre are using the stock factory lugs.

pics pics pics!!!

congrats! i recently placed an order for P40's too... i really cant wait for them to get here

Thanks for your answer on the lugs Lon.. I will call the dealer today to order them with ball seated as I trust the OEM lugs more.

E-mail sent about fitment question. Thank you!

Karl, thx for the assurance on the fitment. I would hate if the tires rub once installed. Since the time I saw ur car on HRE, I knew I wanted to join ur family. Lol

^^ lol.. Josh, soon.. But my HRE won't be as nice as urs.

this is worthless without pix!!

Thank you for clarifying the tire brand, I think the Advan runs wider than other brand. Ah well, I'll wait to see what Lon has to say... I might go a bit more conservative with 19x9.5 & 265/30 if I have to.

I also wants to use my oem lugs as i trust the oem ones more than some china made lugs. Did you have to buy an extended socket or the holes in the HRE are large enough to install the lugs with ease?

Nice, post pics once you get them... what finish & size did you get? It will help me a lot on my set.

Fare, the rennen will look sick on your car... dont listen to Karl too much, he is a bad influence... j/k lol

LOL at ppl who wants pics... I dont have the wheels yet.. in 5 weeks, but here what they look like from HRE website:
