SCCA Solo Legal 19 in rims

[RacingManiac]

19x8.5J with +48~62 offset (diam due to better tire selection)

Its actually ET 53-67. Its +/- 7mm from stock CTR wheels dimension, which is 20x8.5 ET60

For the lug nut issue above, I ended up just use the stock ones with a turned down socket for now.

Oh the autox class...here I was thinking of some kind of brand acronym lol. Yes, got that.

These aren't mine. Look like a great deal.

The 22mm thin walls are hard to find. I finally found mine at advantage auto parts.

@flacobill Reviving an old thread but I just picked up a set of NSX wheels and am in search of a thin-walled 22mm socket so that I can re-use the stock lugs. Can you please link the one that you ended up buying from Advantage Auto Parts? Thanks in advance.

This one works with the plastic sleeve removed. There are likely cheaper options but I hadn’t seen this one listed before.

Thanks! So it looks like a 29mm overall diameter will work? I don't mind the price but I wish I could get it quicker in NA somehow...

That’s correct. 29 works. It’s tight. Early in this thread is talk of machining down impact sockets. Another nice thing with the Koken. Theoretically you could remove another 0.5mm to get a bit of extra room. I suppose if you’re machining a socket, start with a cheaper impact socket.

I wonder if anyone has considered using Porsche lug nuts. They're M14x1.5 ball seat but 19mm instead of 22mm. They're also 32mm long, which is about the same as the stock FK8 lug nuts from my measurement.

They come in black or chrome, closed or open, and aluminum too.

Confirmation of Porsche lug nuts working, also with a few notes of caution on poor quality examples.

@HRace Wow, thanks for the detailed investigation!

I ended up buying these DPAccessories Porche ones for $34 (chrome, but they also have black ones for $36). They're steel but hopefully made a little better than the Motorsports ones.

Measurements are 14x1.5 R14 32mm length, 19mm hex socket.

@Div That’s cool, the specs look good on paper! I hope they turn out to be good quality. That’s a great price. At least you know they will fit OEM without concern now.

It was advance auto parts, not advantage, sorry. I just went up there with car and they let me size a few. Works like a charm even though it barely clears...
Looks like you found a solution already in reading further...for future reference my socket is a deep 22mm, 3/8” drive “GearWrench 80408”

Great! Please let us know how they work out and the manufacturing quality you observe. Hopefully they are at least stainless steel so they won’t rust ...
Absolutely fantastic research & write up on your link @HRace

Reviving an old thread again. Do I need hub centric rings for nsx rims on my type r?
