New LMR SVE SP2 Wheels (PP2 Replica)

Can you post a pic of the OHTSU tires? I’m considering that set since the nittos are always sold out

Here's a side by side comparison with the Pirelli.

What are your priorities for your tires? Unless it's absolute convenience, there's a very good chance that neither the Nitto nor Ohtsu tires are going to be best in class.

All I'm saying is consider just ordering the wheels and selecting your own tire combo. You may even be able to have the wheels drop-shipped to your local tire installer. This is a big purchase that you will be living with for years. Settling for your second choice may not be ideal...but it's your car!

What he said. I had my wheels shipped to my local Discount Tire from LMR. I let Discount Tire know ahead of time - they had zero issues with it.

Thanks for the reply man will definitely do that instead!

Kinda dirty, lots of bugs…still trying to figure out why the wheels don’t look exactly like I hoped but I do like them. Still looking for real PP2 wheels…

I have the 285’s on the front. No complaints. I run their 305/45/22’s on my truck. The Ohtsu/Falken tires wear pretty well. I’ve got 30k on the truck tires and they don’t even look halfway worn.

Does anyone have a recommendation on an impact socket for these wheels? I bought a set not realizing that the size is different on these lug nuts (DOH!). It appears that the supplied lugs are 3/4". I'm looking for an impact socket that won't scratch the wheels or the lug nuts, if that's possible. Or should I use the included adapter with a standard impact socket (seems like a recipe for a problem).

Your local automotive or hardware store will have automotive lug nut sockets - thin walled chrome or rubber shrouded. Normal sockets are usually too thick walled, and don't have the clearance you want.

They're probably actually 19mm metric, but that's damn close to 3/4"

Anybody else find these hold water against the hub? I pulled mine off after only being on for a few months and there was a ton of corrosion on my hubs.

The factory wheels have channels cut into them to let the water drain. I'm not too keen on grinding away material...

I very very rarely drive in the rain, but after a couple rainy drives recently I've already noticed rusty water stains coming from the center caps on a couple of the wheels, so yeah that checks out.

It's been so dry the car hasn't seen rain since the wheels are on. This is just from washes...
I slathered the hubs in anti-seez. Hoping that helps.

So, I just got (4) 19x11's from a fellow member and need the front spacers, longer studs, and lug nut recommendations.

They're all over ebay for next to nothing.
