I'd rather him struggle to find the right rims and pay an arm and a leg rather than him buy spacers and have one fail while I'm next to him going 70mph.

I'm getting moto metal 962s just gotta get them custom drilled for 5x135 sense they dont stock them. Debating on doing that or just getting them in 5x5 sense that what my spacers are. I just dont want to run spacers if I don't have too.

I did not use regular lug nuts, what I used where the acorn ones but they where fine thread when the lug is coarse thread.

I got my wheels brand new installed with them taking the tire off the old rim and putting them on my new rims for 812.53 dollars.

I believe it is only -12mm with 4.5 something backspace but it still puts the tire to the edge of the fender with the lift.

mine are -12 too. But to get your wheels to stick out a good few inches you need something in the -35 to-44+ range and those are pricey
