You will want a lug with a max of 19mm socket size ( normal aftermarket size) but a smaller sized one is better. My wheels get a little beat when I impact them on and off with a standard wall 19 socket, I would have to be very carefull not to touch the wheel.

Get a set of lugs that are "spline" with a spline socket. The RPF1s are nice but the hub plate is VERY deep. I am getting the same set up you have next week and I saw the same thing. Sears and Summit Racing have a few of the "scratch free" lug sockets for less than $60 for a set. Kind of sucks that they are not sold individually.

The spline socket that comes with the black lugs has both a 19mm and 17mm socket head. I wrapped some Teflon tape around the 17mm socket and it fit fine in the PF01 socket well. Now when I say "fine" it was snug but not in contact with the wheel. I would say almost 1mm of clearance all around.
Although the protected sockets are expensive I can see where they may not fit all wheel applications. A safe bet is to wrap the socket in Teflon tape if you are in doubt.
***my bad***
I'm not sure why, but I thought I read the OP had PF01s... I have never mounted RPF1s so terrasmak is right! The PF01s I mounted on my Z this past Sunday were able to accept the 19mm socket with plenty of wiggle room.

Hey guys... I got RPF1s 9.5/10.5 and im not sure wht to do for tires. My main problem is the rear because of the dual caliper bracket. It pushed the wheel out another 8mm.
So wht can I fit on 10.5 +7 without running negative camber? I was thinkin 275/40
The front I am most likely goin to need spacers to make sure I don't rub at full lock with the tie rod spacers from tein. on the 9.5 I was thinkin 245/40. Offset will prob be +5 or mayb even 0.
Im lowered on coils. Plan on keepin this same ride height
Any inputs on this? Front tires will be Nitto NT05 and rear NT 555. Thanks

^^^ drift car? How much power and what kind of camber setting (OEM spec or proper drift)
Is this your street setup, or will you be drifting on these? I ran a 275/40 at 10.5 +10 as my street setup, then a 285/35 with the same specs for track. My rear camber was set to -2.2

In regards to the new enkei rs05rr....I want to do a staggered 18x10 +22 and 18x11 +16 (I think its +16) but what do the wheel gurus here think? These wheels will be used for a little autox and mainly DD use since I have rpf1s for autox. I also want the speedometer to read correctly for the DD use.
