ooh ooh i know the answer to that! the wheels came as blanks for the maxxis in the rear, meaning the had no hole for long nuts from the factory, bc they didnt know how many would sell of each size.....so they get sent out to drill to have the holes drilled....the hole size is slightly smaller than normal, and trying to run a 19mil luignut is tight, you need a very shallor walled socket, this could be avoided if you ran 17mil nuts, but they dont make 17mil in a low enough profile for the maxis lip :D

hope this helps

Brent....

YOU ARE KING! ***lowers head...starts to kneel***

Definitely can see why the company went down that road. Smarts!

But now the customer has to figure out to how to tighten these lugz w/ out bust'in a knuckle.

I had to 'impact' them on...so I guess no ones going anywhere with my wheels. But its gonna be a _____ when I have to change a flat *knocks on wood*.

 

its not bad, get a 19mil socket from snap on but make sure its a 3/8th in drive, itll fit righ in, thats how i cange mine on the f24s

Well Nilo told me to use the FActory Lugs!! He ned to send me the correct ones.. HAwaii Sucks cant even find the right Lugs for these rims here..

 

808..you get nice weather and alot of tourists and chix.. so just cuz your loosing two nuts doesnt mean much..just means you dont have 2 nuts.

 

Thanks brent for the info...you are the master of wheels...

Hey I;ll give ya call later regading the wheels for the Supra..thanks

 

Dang, Brent has Snap-on tools!?! I'm not worthy!

Marshall, you know Nilo will take care of you. If Hawaii is so bad, can I switch places w/ you until after I have my surgery?

 

Umm..yeaaah...Brent...just realized that 19mm, won't work for me. The 'nutz' that Nilo sent with the wheels were 12mm on 1.5. I'll have to wait unit Friday, til the Snap-on guy comes by and empties everyones pocket book for his tools.

Btw: one other related question about these wheels. I noticed while threading the screw on the lug cap on, that both front wheels have a potential problem holding the cap in place. On the left side if your try an tighten down the screw, it will start to spin.

I took it off and just tried threading it with just the screw, this time, if you applied just alittle bit of force, you could literally push in the screw without threading it on?!?

..now this is beginning to happen with the right side now too.

I'm kinda scared to roll down the hwy...and see my center cap assembly rolling pass me on the frwy.

Anything to prevent this from happening?

 

That would be fine with me at least I can fix up my car with out the shipping problem! SO when are we trading?

 

:D

 

Kosal, give me a call and tell me in detail what's up with the caps...thanks bro.

 

i had to redrill and tap my f24 caps holes as well, just take a marker put it through the hole on the other side of the wheel, so that you spin the cap to the other sode, mark hole, redrill and tap, you dont even need to take the wheel off, should take ou about 5 min per wheel

12x1.5 is the corrrect size the outer diam of the nut is 19 mill vs 17mil.....i know lots of bs....and squirrel i dont have the snap on tools, but teddy, the mecanic at jaz does, so i use his tools and the lift once we install it......i cant wait, means i dont have to crawl around on the ground when my swaybars, coilovers and underbracing comes in next mont :D

 

i want to get a set of 19" se7en mod wheels with maxis lip... anybody have any acess to great deals.... i know that you have to grind the caliper to get the fronts to fit, but they will lookkkk siccckkkk... let me know guys...

 

I can get ya the mods, don't know who told ya about grinding hte calipers ?. but i ran the wheels for months and never had that broblem. Let me know.

Here's an old skool pic of the ride with themon.

 

guys im looking to get the 19x8 mods non maxis. what offset do you recomend? and any rubbing with an eibach sportline 2 inch drop? what about the spacer shims? are those really a must to have the wheels? please please please some one help me out

 

No rubbin w/ a 2" trop. No need for OTS spacers, all you need is 5mm spacer for the rear. get the 35mm offset, but i would recommed the maxis lip for the rears, you'll like the set up much better. best of luck.

 

any suggestion on a tire?

 

215/35/19...depends on how much your budget is...I like Yoks, but Nitto gens are nice inexpensive tires...jmo

 

neogens are nice, i have them on my box, i would not run them again, they stick great once they heat up, and they heat up fast 3 minutes on the highway doing 95 will do the trick, lol....
