I have a friend who used to work at BMW who could do them. He originally did my WORKs and he did an awesome job. No scratches at all! And he had the same emo cr-kais on his rx-8. Im sure he could still do em for you if you wanted.

I will give you guys a little heads up with those aggressive offsets.....get the ARP heavy duty studs and AMS (re-branded and sold by Z1(GA)) billet spacers. The combo costs like 200-210 total. The studs obviously have to be pressed in, but they are w/o question the strongest on the market. Only draw back is the studs are very long and you must run open ended lugs.

Don't buy spacers with built in studs......they are poop. Get spacer that either have studs that need to be pressed in or do as I did and buy hubcentric spacers in the right bolt pattern (and desired mm) and get high grade studs.

Pic of the ones on my car......you can see how long they are......

Because the ones that have built-in studs still rely on the stock studs, which are overly stressed as a result of the wider track (and spacer, etc). Perhaps that isn't the perfectly correct technical answer, but its wayyyyy past my bed time lol. I'll say this, I have personally seen these types of spacers fail. Not too mention it is much cheaper to go with pressed in studs and spacers.

I use these.......

....and these studs....

If you never intend to push your car, run at the track, etc......you maybe perfectly fine with the kics......it's just I can't do it lol.
