lugs should not be hard to find at all. You'll need an open ended acorn style lug nut that is short and thin. I doubt you'll need to replace your studs with the longer units. As long as you can get a minimum of 6 full turns of the lug nut then you're good to go. 5mm spacer is not wide at all.
PS: it's just safer. The RX is kind of heavy and I wanna make sure the wheels stay on
But I need to look at the kit.

21" is probably the most awkward size rim you can buy, thats why its hard to find tires. Staggered rims look cool for sure but only on some vehicles and wouldn't that totally screw up your tranny if its AWD? I can't wait to seee pics though and hopefully it works out in the end.
. Lots of AWD Searches and consulting. Even talked to a physicist that does it My tires are .02 diff. in size with the circumference front and rear. Time will only tell in any case.

They might be almost the same size but theres gotta be a weight difference. On my truck I had a blow out and had to use the spare tire which is the exact same tire but brand new and when I took it in to the dealer they called me and told me I need 3 new tires to match because it would mess with my 4x4 mode. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that but I could see how it might mess things up. I'm hoping they do work out and im really curious on the look so get some motherf#*$ing pics asap!!!!!!

Yeah I did not want to get into a debate about it. Did my home work and am taking the risk. The wheels might end up not looking right and up for sale they go.
Just needed to get them on. So crazy what I go through for cars.

I must say I am very happy right now. Just an FYI, No photo I have taken gives justice to the wheel quality and look. Everyone that has seen it agree. If I had a choice there would be less poke and more tire.
Rear:10mm spacer + a 2mm. Fronts are 5mm.
What a different world between the two.
Such a great contrast change when outside. Mirrors everything. Overcast. Might remove the 5MM later from the front.
Over all man I am so relieved. It's such nicer drive than the stocks as well. Very smooth and comfortable. More tire on the road helps. Less rubbing than the stocks lol!! Love it.

Car looks great with the wheels and drop. Without the drop it'll be another story but good job man.
btw, our cars have some of the same stuff (visors, fusa, tsuna). I'm liking the white against the blue, nice contrast. Mine are gold but might want to try white just to see what it looks like. Where did you get them at?

Yeah I am getting a body kit and Air system in Jan. It will complete the look. I also have black Kontruna and Fusa for when I get bored and want to switch.

Looks sweet infinirx! Its hard to see from the pics but do the rims have a really pronounced staggered look? There's no better feeling than having it all work out in the end after so much work!!!!! What side vents do you have on?
Got any pics of your beast Veleno?

All that and you never got Air? It's a very nice build but looks off with the height. I mean especially because of the body kit. Love everything else though. Hehe this makes me even more ambitious to get the Digital Managed Air suspension. Where are you located?

I know what you mean about the height. I was also considering springs like you did but decided that I needed something that was adjustable so I didn't go that route. I'm waiting for another member to post some pictures of his install on the RX with Air Runners so I can see how his is set up. I'm pretty sure it's similar to every other air setup but I'm in no rush so waiting for the pictures isn't a problem.
If you beat me to it then post some pictures!

Thanks for the link infinrx. How's the ride on those?
You need to drop that beast ASAP veleno!!!! There's way too much gap for those rims and kit. those rims will look huge once you drop it. What's the job kit worth?
