Rim questions

[nikhsum]

After some research I am almost ready to get some new rims for my 07 Mag Grey I4 LE but I still have some questions.

I've been looking at the Falken Torque 5 either in Silver or Gun Metal (17x7 +40mm offset) paired with Yokohoma AVID H4S (P215/55R17) tires.

I calculated the new setup will be 0.61% larger in diameter with the wheel extending an extra 11mm outwards and having 1mm less inner clearance. I hope this is ok and that it won't cause any problems.

1. Will I need to use aftermarket lug nuts to mount the wheel or will the factory ones do?
2. Can I use aftermarket wheel locks (like McGuards) or do I need to use OEM?
3. On 1010tires.com they have nuts and bolts. Which one do I need?
4. Will I need a hub centric ring? I know the Camry is 60.1mm but I see outside and inside diameter, so which do I get? Link

Answer to your questions in the order:
1. I use the aftermarket lug nuts. Keep the factory lug nuts with your OEM wheels.
2. I also use aftermarket wheels locks. (You could use OEM but don't have to)
3. For our Camry we use lug nuts. (Bolts are for car like Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen etc...)
4. I strongly recommended you get a hub centric rings. 1010tires.com also sell these centric rings. If you don't know the center bore of your Falken Torqure 5 (also called outer diameter and the car hub center bore is called inner diameter) then 1010tires.com will find the exact match for you given you provide them your car year and model + wheels make and model)
If you wonder how to install these rings, I just posted pictures of these hub centric rings from another thread or just pm me.
By the way, what is the color of your Camry? If it's light color then the Gunmetal will offset it nicely.

Thanks for the quick response.

1010tires has a White Knight Wheel Installation kit but I'm don't know what comes in it. From the pictures it looks like the hub centric rings are included so I just emailed them for clarification. http://www.1010tires.com/accessories.asp?pid=INSTNUT If it comes with everything I need I'll just get that kit with the McGuard wheel locks.

My color is Magnetic Grey. I plan on keeping my steelies in the winter paired with some winter tires. As for the Falkens, the Silver looks a bit dull (almost like a matte finish) from the pictures I've seen. I think either one would look pretty nice so it's a tough decision...

Go for the Gun Metal.
