Bought new rims and tires, got some questions?

I bought some Team Dynamic Pro Race 1 rims and Goodyear F1 GS-D3 tires. Will the factory bolts work with the Team Dynamic rims or will I have to get some new ones? Also where can I find some metal hubcentric rings?

Discount Tire Direct will have the hub rings

Factory bolts should work, but you may run into issues getting a lug wrench onto the bolts.. And not chip your paint...

Discount Tire can sell you an install kit proably too !

^^ about paint chipping, put some masking tape over your deep socket where it would rub agains the lug holes on your wheels.

Wow, Wichita must be some town. Even here in Amish country, I'd opt for some locking bolts.

the box the wheels came in should say one or the other

72.62 to 56.1

73.00 to 56.1

The rims are 17x7 with a 45mm offset and the tires are 215/40/17. Will I have any problems with the tires rubbing the fenders?
