255/25/18 <-- Typo?

Looking good! Which lug nuts did you end up going with? Muteki? Hub centric rings?

Thanks!

I settled for the Monster lugs nuts and locks for now. The Rays L42 are out of stock until the end of month. And yes, I am using hub rings also.

So 255/25 wasn't a typo?

Whoops, typo.

Loving this wheel and tire guide.

Looks great!! Have you experienced any rubbing on stock suspension with this setup? I'm looking to put some Rays 57CR 18x9.5 +38 on my car soon but I'm not decided on tires yet. Was the swap pretty uneventful for you?

No rubbing with some passengers (1-2 and some stuff in trunk).

The swap was uneventful except for the fact that the stock lug nuts DO NOT work with these wheels. You will need splined lugnuts so order them in advance, don't be like me running around to every single auto parts store because half didn't have the size/shape I needed, or didn't have enough stock, etc.

This is correct. I recommend to have that information in the first post.

It is highly recommended to have aftermarket lug nuts (acorn) for aftermarket wheels as the stock lug nuts will more than likely not fit.

I have the same wheels, except the 9.5" wide variant, ready to install in a few months once it warms up. My car is also PMM, so nice to see a sneak peak, looks great!

Did you just get the centercaps? Been waiting on mine since Sept, so hoping maybe a shipment came to the US.

Yea I just got mine this week. I ordered them around Jan 10 though. Where did you order yours from?

Apparently the wrong place. I'll refrain from throwing the vendor under the bus quite yet though.

I'm assuming it's a US based vendor? I got mine from Nengun performance so they shipped straight from Japan.
