Did you have to change the wheel studs with the rims and the spacer? If you changed the studs did the stock lug nuts fit ? My other rims are the RO JA 5. 19 x 10 . with the custom lug nuts.

I just replied to your PM... But to answer this question.. I am also running 19x10 Roja formula 5's as well as my race wheels with the stock studs.... I do not use spacers on any of my wheel setups.... Not really a good idea... As far as race wheels, you will need shank style lug nuts....

Its almost like driving on a flat tire, if you stay on the gas, its easier to control than if you vary your speed. If you dont want to drive up on them just have a freind take your slicks and a jack up for you, thats what I did last time I went to the track.
damn I was hoping they would go a bit smoother...

What's the tire pressure you set it up at the track?

You need 12x1.25mm spline type lugs....when I called JEGs they only had 4 of them..so I called summit racing and they had them in stock...just tell them you need 12x1.25mm lug nuts for weld ProStar wheels...and they'll know exactly what to send you...
