Hmm? How big a bat you got Mike? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) You're going to have to source a BFH to make those rears tuck.

And a steel tubular chassis. Those tires will pull the car apart.

Not really sure which nuts they use - I'll have to talk with Eric about that as I'm installing the studs pretty soon.
The front tire are 10mm larger than Mr. Cannons and the rears are 20mm. He has no problem and I'm not running sticky slicks or anything crazy. I have some good chassis bracing and trailing arm support. I'm not planning on racing but I may do a few track days a year. You really thing I'll pull the car apart?

I just bought a set. I believe it's ball type. It was listed under "people also purchased."

hmm...I run 16x8 all around and can't imagine getting anything wider on the rear. I had to roll the flares and they ALMOST rub the inner chassis - had to put 3/4" spacer on them. there is no more room under there with 245 Bridgestone RE-11 tires.

A tech at Automotion told me last night that I need to use conical nuts, now I am confused!!! I was prepared to purchase the same nuts you bought, but the tech stopped me and said wheels use conical nuts ???

Now I'm confused. The rims look like they take ball type wheel nuts. The nuts haven't showed up yet so I can't confirm it.

The tech doesn't know what he's talking about. Checked when I got home, they are ball type. Holes have a radius to them that match the ball type nuts I received today. I notice that they now have the wrong lugs on the website under "frequently bought together".

Thanks, I received my wheels today and I agree. Sure look like they use ball type nuts. That is what I will order...Thanks again... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Custom flares Bob... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
I also think yours are the 7" and 9" flares - GT Racing and possibly others make the larger 9" and 11" which would fit a bigger combination but wouldn't have the balance of your car with those sizes all the way around.
