Thanks for posting the pic. A little more stretched than I would like personally, but not much of a choice for me.

Link on the instagram logo below my screen name. I posted a video which shows clearance. Once you click on one of my car pics I usually put a hashtag so you can see all of them. It's #LbintabLS460L hopefully that'll help

I checked it out. Thanks. Did you say you were running Hankooks? Deciding between them and Continentals. Not sure which one has the more rounded sidewall.

Literally over a year after my initial order, I finally got the wheels installed yesterday. The first set of rears had to be sent back to Japan. They were hitting the caliper, stuck out too far for my liking, and the shop I use would not put a 245 tire on a 10.5 wheel. It was a long wait to have another set made, but I am happy overall with the outcome. 245 up front and 275 rears. I have to send back the hub rings as they were incorrect, and going from a 5mm spacer to 10mm in the rear with extended lugs per the shops recommendation. Coilovers, sub install, front lip, maybe small rear spoiler will be next, then calling it a day.

Thanks to RAVSPEC (forum vendor) for working with me on the wheels and Advance Performance in Tampa for the install.

You know the wheels could have been ordered with the hub size of 60.1mm so no hub rings were needed.

Did not realize that. Not sure why Work would make the wheel for my car specifically with an incorrect hub size and needing a spacer. Sounds a bit fishy.

Correct, the buyer is responsible to provide those info but I would've imagine that RavSpec should've know that when ordering?

Looks great, what coilovers are you planning on getting? As for the spacers, are you running longer wheel studs or do the spacer have the studs built in?

I asked him the other day and he said to check the box. The boxes have been thrown out, I am going to contact Work directly to see if they can provide all the specs. I am not an expert when it comes to offsets and such and put my trust in the guys that do this every day. I explained what I was looking for (daily driver, no fender mods, no rubbing, etc..) and had him spec them out.

I called the shop that did the install and they said that the wheels actually do not require hub rings. Staying with the 5mm spacer.

Thanks! Planning on BCs. I am running the factory studs and am just on a 5mm spacer.

Default Nice Wheels

The wheels look very nice. My front wheels are so covered with brake dust (Brembo) that I can't keep them clean! But the brakes work do very well.
