No adapters, wheels were re-drilled.

REAR 245/35/19 (-1.5 degrees camber)
FRONT 225/35/19 (-3.5 degrees camber)

Theres room up front to dial camber out but I just havent made adjustable arms yet.

I'm looking into getting them redrilled. There's a place locally that can do it with a cnc machine for $200 all four.

Yes they are, but there is room on the wheel between the spokes for the studs to go.

Yes, the wheels have pockets that the studs/lugs can clear.

Nice, another member running the 7 series wheels. I'm running 20mm in front and 25mm in rear for adapters, with 215/35 in front and 225/35 in the rear for tires. I have no problems with rubbing.
