Default Enkei Raijin 18x9.5

As the title states, I have four Enkei Raijin wheels for sale for LOWERED PRICE $700 OBO. I paid ~$1100 for them new. Specs are as follow:

18x9.5
5x114.3
+35 offset
Titanium gray

The wheels have less than 1k miles on them. Practically brand new. Not a single blemishes/scratches/chips whatsoever to the face of the wheel.

The wheels came off my Evo X, so the set isn't staggered. I bought the wheels thinking they would fit the Evo without any problems, but I ended up having to use 10mm spacers to make them work. After discussing the issue with some fellow Evo enthusiasts, I decided to sell the wheels due to the uncertainty of the lug studs shearing/fracturing off.

Please call/text me at 214) 218 - two.seven.four.zero
I have photos of the wheels on my phone, so I can send them to you via MMS.


Thanks!

You could just change to extended length studs. It's a really easy job.

I thought about it, but I'd have to buy another set of open ended shouldered lug nuts on top of the extended studs. I use my OEM wheels for road racing/auto-x.

I also don't want almost 2-3 inches of the stud sticking out.

Appreciate the advice though.

You shouldn't have very much stud sticking out at all. You can buy wheel studs in different length - some are just barely longer than stock, but get the job done. Heck you might not have any sticking out if you get extended length lug nuts. The Muteki SR48 (only $67.50) is open ended just in case they are super long and stick through, but being 48mm long themselves they should completely house the stud.

Either way you go, good luck.

I believe only ARP sell wheel studs for the Evolution and they come in two lengths: stock and really long. I've seen both on Evos before, and the extended stud has a lot of thread sticking out when used with the OEM wheels. I'm trying to avoid that specific scenario.

Also, the Muteki SR48s are conical so they won't work with OEM wheels. The OEM lug nuts have a square shoulder, not a conical taper.

I'm set on selling these wheels. thanks for the free bumps.

Are they by chance a dual bolt pattern with 5x100?

lol 35+ is considered low in the Evo community. All Evos that have the Raijins are going with 15+. I didn't want that of an aggresive setup, so I tried the 35+.

Could you please recommend an Altima forum? The Nissan world is a foreign area to me..

No, they are made for only 5x114.3
For an extra $20, I can take my cordless drill and make it any bolt pattern you'd like.

By "high offset" he means more positive. I'll keep my $20 and drill em out with a dremel.

Have you already put them on craigslist?

I don't know how active these forums are, but here:

Ah, gotcha. You could use spacers.

Yea, they've been on craiglist for about two months now, but I've been getting mostly lowballers. One kid wanted the wheels for $400..

Thanks Allstar, I'll try posting the ad over there.
