Questions about 19" tire wheel installation
I just received 19" Millie Miglia Evo 5s from a fellow org member. I have a 95 max which used to have 18" RH Evolution C5s, those were stolen. Anyway, would I need spacers in the front or back or both? I used to have some Pepboys spacers for the rear, I don't know whether those were taken or not, car is still at the body shop. Moreover, I thought about getting lightweight lug nuts. Would that make any difference in acceleration or performance? Thanks.

What is the offset for the 19's?
Did your rims get stolen while at the Bodyshop?

sorry to hear about the loss. I believe you wont need spacers, assuming the offset is withing a certain range
around 35mm-44mm you should be fine.
what kind of work is he doing to the car?

Thanks. He's replacing the front passenger side strut, inner tie rod, fender, hood, possibly front bumper, new lock for the trunk with programming, damaged back seat, and broken rear driver side window (small triangle one). My two 10" bazookas with amp and capacitor were stolen, but I had my face plate so my radio is still there.

wow that is a lot of work and inlcuding paint is a fair trade for you replacing your own rims. Hope all turn out well. I'm sure the Evo's will looks sweet on the car.

I'm thinking about getting these. In addition to being lightweight, they are also like locks for your wheels.

Anyways, I'm glad everything's getting straightened out finally, it seems like an eternity since you had told us what happened, I totally forgot. Locking lug nuts seem like a good idea, as long as they work.
edit: I decided not to be as much of an ****.
