Looking for help....I am possibly purhcasing these ROH Snypers from a guy in Chicago but they have been machined for a different rear stud.
In order to use them with stock rear studs, ill need to use lugs like these:

Would it be difficult to figure out the size I need? Here is a link to the wheels that shows the machining done. I really need to figure out if this is a big deal prior to purchasing!

Should be fine with the shank lug nuts (and washers that go with them). Only thing is that the washers will be visible, so then the appearance front to rear will be slightly different if that is a concern.

No biggie and a good deal as long as you can get them shipped reasonably. Go for it.

The light difference is not really a concern. I really like these wheels and have wanted them for a long time! So you think finding the right size lug won't be too much of an issue?

Piece of cake, just need the right diameter and depth, should be easy enough, I may even have some open end ones in my tool box if you get stuck.

Norm, if you do grab these, I can help with ordering the proper lugs to go with them.


cheers

I have someone that is going to buy them provided I get these wheels.

Ed, do you see anything to be concerned about in regards to fitment? This may be a dumb question but the way it sits on the car would not have changed correct?

From the description in the ad, the size of the holes is the only mod to the wheels. So the only change should be the requirement for the shank style lugs. The ad doesn't say anything about the mounting pad being machined for a different offset or something else that would alter the fit on the car. But that would certainly be a question to ask the seller, "anything else changed on these before I send my money and have them shipped to Canuckistan?"

Worst case scenario you change to 5/8" studs and use nuts like he was using, the wheels are hard to find and the price seems right given the rarity.
