^^what are you lowered on?

I'm using 19mm adapters, which I believe is also the most common size others use, at least to make the wheels flush.

Yeah, I'm looking to go with 19mm with the wheel studs, or 18mm if I can find them. I also want to go 19x9 all around, 19x10 all around. Will be lowered on megan lp's or F7F type 2's

Are those wheels polished?

I heard that spacers eat out your axles? That's why i chose not to get BMW 7 rims, but if they dont then i'll be glad to run this setup.

^Seems like a lot of members have ran this set up with adapters and haven't had a problem yet, at least in this thread alone. It'll be a disappointment if it did though, I've waited a while to put my set on.

Swap out the center caps.

Excellent fitment and wheel choice.

Before finding a set locally I was looking at
Motorsport-tech.com. You might wanna check them out.

Interested to know if anyone ever widened these towards the inside? 19x12 for instance.
