Default Questions bout TE37 SL tyres and lug nuts

Hi all I just bought a set of Rays TE37 SL 19x9.5 front 19x10.5 rear and planned to put on 255/30/19 front 305/30/19 rear. Is this gonna cause any problem like rubbing? Also is it possible to use the oem lug nuts? I am looking at some rays lug nuts but I'm no expert in this at all. The one I looked at is m12x1.25 Length 35mm. Thanks for all the helps!

Yes, those sizes will rub.

No, stock lug nuts are not going to work.

What suspension are you running on?

I think the reason the stock lugnuts would not work is this. They are 60 degrees but the chamfer size (call it the length of the angle) is smaller than the rays. I had thought about using the four locking nuts (the ones that use the key) on my GTS but I saw the difference and concluded it might not seat right. Someone correct me on this.

As I thought the stock nuts won't fit, I'm looking at one of these rays nuts

I am running on an after market suspension, not on Any camber degree.(if this answers your question coz I am not sure!) . Maybe negative camber degree will eliminate the rubbing? Or maybe I can get a 295 or 285 for rear?

Just so you know the finish on rays lug nuts aren't the greatest in the world. That red will eventually turn to a pinkish shade in time.

Thanks for the info,then I might be getting the rays formula, or anything recommendation from you guys?
Forgot to mention, my wheels are +22 front and +12 rear. Looked at link from davidv, I don't think the 305 is possible anymore.. I got a pretty good deal on Nitto Invo locally..

How much did you pay for your set? I have 19x9.5 +22 and 19x11 +23 TE37 SL's. Haven't put tires on em yet, was actually going to sell them for 18's.
