They look nice, but it would have been better to me if they had kept the original profile...

That's one of my recent Sr20de swaps.
Looks nice with the new shoes.

Did you install longer studs?

^ It wasn't necessary with these. Plenty of turns, lug nuts supplied gave a nice snug fit. No issues.

15x7 might require longer studs I'm guessing, not 15x6?fj20spl311 wrote:Did you install longer studs?

I think it might be model and offset dependent. The metal inserts on my VTO Retro 4 wheel are so thick that it would be hard to use them with standard studs.Alvin wrote:15x7 might require longer studs I'm guessing, not 15x6?fj20spl311 wrote:Did you install longer studs?

15x7 shouldn't be any thicker there, but I can check. I think Phil is right, it's the model of wheel.

I'm confused. I thought longer studs were required on wheels with low offset or wider than stock width.
What does the metal insert have to do with it?
