Glen told me they should work, PGT said i should upgrade to studs or something.

opinions? im ordering the Konig Hotswaps in 18" today, should i get the "installation kit" from discount tire direct, or somewhere else?

the lugs will be hidden BTW.

 

If the holes are the same as my Konigs then you should be able to use them. I had to have them drilled out to fit the larger lug bolts on the R56.

 

what Konigs do you have? your stock bolts fit, but you had to have the rim drilled to fit larger aftermarket lugs?

 

Most after market wheels require narrow "tuner" lugs I had to get them for my Tenzo's. Don't forget hubcentric rings for your inside diameter of 56.1mm

And post pics when you get them on!

 

I have Konig Britelites and yes I had to have the rim drilled. My dealer sent them back to Konig to get it done. This was done to accomodate the larger lug bolts (14mm) that come on the R56. The bolts from the previous generation car (12mm) would have worked fine.

 

Confused a bit here. First, what is in an installation kit?
No reason why these should just not bolt on with factory lugs unless you need spacers for clearance. If the lugs are covered then studs most likely would not fit, as they might stick out to far.(?)
definitely get hubcentric rings if they are not already hubcentric.

 

If the rims are hubcentric then you could just have done the drilling yourself. It's the hubcentric hub and the 'taper' on the lugs that align everything.

 

Yeah, I could have. But I didn't want to.

 

im going to get the rings for sure, theyre like 15 for all 4, dont know if theyre plastic or not. im ordering from Discount Tire Direct.

the "installation kit" i referred to is what discount tire direct calls it.

it basically is the studs or different lugs that you "need" but i guess i dont need them on this wheel: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=007438

 

My Konig Feathers bolted right up with the stock lugs.....


Also, be sure to get Hubcentric rings to go with them..73 x 56mm
