Hi everyone, new guy here! I have been bitten by the mod bug after only 7 months of ownership on my 17' Magnetic ST, and I've decided my first mod is getting rid of the stock wheels, but I am a complete wheel noob! I'm hoping I can get some help here, so lets get to it! Desired Wheels --- XXR 17x7.5 +40 Chromium Black
I plan on running the stock Bridgestone Potenzas (205/40R17's) because they only have 5,400ish miles on them (I drive alot huh?). I've done reading and searching that I should have no problems with fitting the stock tires on the XXR 17x7.5 +40 offset setup on stock suspension (will do springs later, probably mountune) without rubbing/issues etc, but want to confirm that. I also plan to get rid of the stock lugs in favor of the Gorilla Automotive 21133BC Small Diameter Acorn lugs, but unsure if these will work on the 527's? Can I also reuse the stock TPMS sensors, or am I looking at new/reprogramming?
Am I missing anything here? Swapping the tires to the new wheels, new lugs, and TPMS sensors. I want to get everything in one fell swoop, and then go to a shop and have them all mount and balanced.
I appreciate the help guys, I look forward to being apart of the forum.
