In the same boat lukey, iv read tyre size is another factor. I'm looking at 235/35's, max width is 245 to keep correct rolling diameter but could run into problems scrubbing in the front. All theoretical mate, someone might be able to shed some light on it.

Have you solved the wheel nut issue ? Found a pre- VE nut with a large enough locating tapper to match the rim ?

thats good to hear will save a bit of dough. not strapped on cash but if i can save it i save it. but also wanna make sure its done properly. abd yeah there 19x8. smidey i brought these wheels and they had like a chamfured collar in them so i can use my original nuts.

They can if you have those collar/ shims/ sleeve thing that mine have in them. But I'm not sure where there from cause they were already on the wheels when I brought them. But otherwise they can but it's very unsafe.
