Your car has 12mm lug bolts. Which Enkei wheels? Have you discussed this with Alex at TireRack? They are pretty good folks and have answers for about everything.

I wouldn't be too worried. Tirerack has some of the best customer service around. They'll get you on your wheels.

You can contact Alex through this site. Just go to the tire section and you can't miss him. He will take very good care of you!

Call Tire Rack & ask for Alex in sales. He WILL sort this out for you.

Many aftermarket rims need tuner bolts/lugs....
Gorollia sells them...both as bolts or a lug/stud conversion.
Like said before call the seller...

Be very carefull with the set from Gorilla, as they are a bit shorter than the stock bolt by about 3mm. Should be fine as long as you don't need wheel spacers.

Customer service is so important. I bet they didn't charge you for them, or for shipping them.
