Before and after shots of PnutKar. Wheels are from a Mini Cooper, 42mm offset using Gorilla E/T Conical lug nuts (BMW uses studs on the Cooper). Removed the Mini logo from the center caps with a heat gun. The Toyota logo from the hubcaps would not fit within the center caps so I left them blank. Tires are Michelin Harmony, stock 185/60R15. Contemplated 195 and 205 but cost, wear, and warranty are an issue. It is my humble opinion that these wheels look very good on the car - they complement the "roundy" look nicely. Now it needs some "squat".

You mean, they use bolts. We use studs. They use bolts.

I run a set of the same Mini rims as my Winter rims. Their lug bolts are larger diameter than our studs and the hub is 2mm wider. If you aren't running hubcentric rings (I couldn't find ones to fit), you should use lug nuts that make the wheels lugcentric. I am using lugcentric bulge conical lug nuts that I found at Jegs that have the correct taper and have a part below the taper that fills the space between our studs and the wheel:

Yes, we don't want wobbly wheels do we? I used these lug nuts from Gorilla. They look similar to the Jegs nuts, but not as "bulgey". I like the Jegs better. I'll have to get some.

So wait a second, you have 235 wide tires?? Don't you get serious rubbing?
I don't recall ever seeing anyone with that width.
