Nice choice. I've got the same but in Chrome on my Magnum. When i was at the tire shop puttin them on, they told me they werent going to fit on the rear because they would rub on the inside. Once we got them on and let the car down on its weight the space on the inside got larger. They fit no problem, no issues with rubbing at all. My tire size on the rear is a 285, and based on clearances on my personal car, I do not think you will have any problems running a 295.

EXACT same setup! Think I have to wait another 3 weeks. Tires in; just gotta wait for the Sevas'.

Yeah, aftermarket wheels require very THIN lug nuts. Had to change mine when I got the Bonspeeds.

Before getting them mounted, I STRONGLY encourage you to either:

a) get a special lug socket w/plastic surround to avoid scratching the wheel, or

b) get "tuner" lug nuts where the "key" goes inside the lug nut; thus COMPLETELY preventing any "swirl" scratches on the wheel in the lug nut area.

Dang those look good!

Yes they definitely need the thinner lugs. 19x14 do the trick nicely. Took all day to find someone that had them, but all good now. Finally got them on (6:36pm)

Thanks.

Stock SRT wheels (with tyres on) 25.5kg
Sevas wheels (with tyres on) 30kg. I only measured the 10.5 so maybe the 9 could be lighter, but at only 5kg difference (and bigger tyres all round than standard) very impressed and pleased with the weight.

Yes they do. And they fit great. Was worried to begin with but fit great. PLENTY of clearance....

Spot on mate. Heaps of room and no rubbing.

Hey Turk.

Yes they fit under great and I won't need to trim or roll anything at this stage. Sits very nicely and has less than half an inch gap between the top of the tyre and the lip.

I am thinking of lowering it more though, possibly bagging it and I will definitely need to do that though. Decisions decisions......

Was able to get a few pics tonight. Will post more through the day time and once it has been washed.

I did have some slight rubbing when it hits some uneven or bumpy road (nothing major, very slight and rarely). It looks to be touching on the outer lip inner plastic trim. It seems to have an edge that protudes slightly further into the wheel well the the actual lip of the car. WIll get the hot knife out tomorrow and trim this back. This I believe will solve that issue. Other than that it's fantastic. Oh and Hankooks light up very nicely......had to get rid of the factory label/writing somehow...lol. Karla was not impressed

Looks great! Get her washed up, dress those tires, and snap some daytime pics. I bet it'll look awesome.

Jected those rims are sweet! I love them on your ride, really cool!
on a side note...
Tell Amelia that I have some really nice pink fuzzy slippers that will match her jammies quite nicely..if she will trade her cute brown fuzzy ones... Amelia is such a cutie..I love her smile!

Man that looks tight!!! Can't wait to see some freshly detailed daytime pics! Great choice on wheels!!!

[teahead]

Dayum! Guess that's what I should expect my car to look like soon. Chrome mouldings removed and all! Although I put on chrome door handles and the back end will be lower.

Get about 3 adults in the back and let me know how much it rubs. Hopefully it's all in the INSIDE and not on the OUTSIDE lip!
