Stock wheel nuts on aftermarket wheels

[flipfire]

Pump it to 36-42psi. I usually do 38 front 36 rear

Check your door jambs for the cars load rating. The tyres on your stockies might not even be accurate.

Alright chucked the wheels on today, the guy who sold it to me said he's always ran them at 45psi... and he wasn't lying lol they were rock hard and i went to petrol station to reduce them to 38.

The lug seat is conical and the lock nuts i bought (12x1.5) fit great. Only problem now is the centre bore doesn't match up. So i called up 'super tyre & auto' and they said to bring the car in for them to have a look at and to deduce what size hub rings i need. This seems like it's gonna break the bank... fml when they start charging me for a million things

What ya think? A half decent look on the teg? yah i know... springs are coming

hubrings cost like $15 a set, just show them the wheel.

They might sucker you into installing it there and charge you like $60 to put it on all fours. haha

Yeah well the guy on the phone said "bring in it and we'll have a look" which means ill probably have to pay for them to take off my bolts and measure the holes lol

I know the hub size of my car (dc4) is 56.1mm (i think? can anyone confirm), but i dont know how to measure the wheels hub diameter. Can't find the info anywhere on the net as to the exact hub size of these wheels (osaka rs5 17x7)

Rather get some off ebay or some shit, hate going to these tyre places... worst customer service

Use a ruler? lol

Just measure from one side of the hole to the other mate.

Wheels look good. What size are the tyres? I ran 34PSI on my 17's.

205/40/17. Raises the car by half a cm, closest diameter i can get to stock with 205

Yeah I had 215/40/17 on my Civic and put them on 34PSI which I thought was perfect. 38 too high IMO. 36 is alright.

Would there really be any significant change in ride between 34-38?

Up to you, how it feels cornering, road noise, fuel economy and whatnot.

i remember having to get hub rings for my rims i went to one place they measured up and said i would have to wait for them to order it in blah blah blah, i just left and i went to another tyre place and asked for a set then the dude gave me a box that was used for a 22" rim and it was overfilling with the rings lol and he said if i can find the right sizes then just take them lol so i borrowed their jack and took the wheel off and sat there trying all the different sizes lol
