Any one with Rota Subzeros Please help!

Alright after I ordered my tires for my 17in Rota Subzeros last night, i find out that I need a new set of tuner lug nuts and wheel locks for my car. Anyone out there that has the same wheels I do, if so what size lug nuts you guys used and wheel locks, the company I am looking at is Mcgards. Thanks in advance.

why would you need new lug nuts - those rims require tuner lugs?? btw - those are very nice rims, i think they look great on imprezzas, dont think i've ever seen them on a maxima

You would have to get spacers to fit them on 4 gen max and different lugnuts. The stock one will not fit. Check my homepage for pics. They are on the bottom of page 1. Mike

I was thinking of getting the gunmetal like you, what size are those. Where can I get the spacers and what kind of lug nuts do I have to get. The prices on those rims are so cheap, I wanted to get some 18's.

I had the 17X8 Rota subzero but sold them for my evo5s. redmaxpa007 is correct about the lugnuts size but the oem does not work bucause it will not fit. I got my wheels and tires put on ata tireshop and they took care of the spacers and lugnuts but I'm pretty sure pepboys will sell them, not really sure. They are cheap but was going to upgrade to 18 so I sold them but guess what... i have 17s

How could you not have fitment problems? What offset were your 18s? CORRECTION: My subzeros were 17x7.5 and the offset was +45.

So I won't need spacers, I would like to get some 17x8 or 18x9 if they make them. I would really like to know if I will need spacers, but for sure I will need new lugnuts, and where can I get these. And if you know what kind are they, the number or something like that.

nope you don't need spacer,for the subzeros if you get the 5mm spacer which i doubt it, you need to extend your lugnuts, cuz the stock lug nuts is not long enough for the spacer. the stock lugnuts should fit just fine. even the lugnuts from a hucap, but the only bad thing about it is the lugnuts gonne scratch up the rims since is not the tuner style.
im pretty sure the 95-99 should have the same pattern.. maybe is the diffrence between 18 and 17.. thats why it has fitment problem.

and mikes are you sure is the spacer not the hup ring ata put on for you? on your subzeros?
subzeros donesn't make any thing wider then 7.5 correct me if im wrong.

I needed tuner lugs for mine so I bought Kyokugens. some Rotas come with 45mm offsets which fit fine but some like mine had 48mm offsets so I bought 5mm spacers to be on the safe side-never mounted them without the spacers so I dont know if they would rub. pics in my profile

5mm spacer yes. longer lug nuts not 100% sure but you can get the 5mm spacer first to see wasup. by the way you can get the 5mm spacer at pepboys for $5 each

whats the offset of the wheel your getting? havent heard of rotas with a 50mm offset, all I see are 45 and 48mm offsets. take the origninal offset # and subtract 5 and thats the offset with 5mm spacers. dont buy pepboy's garbage spacers get H&R
