Exel TZ10's if you have them I have questions
 
Hi all, just picked up a used set and now I have to mount them. They are 17x7 and I think the centric rings should be OD=70 and ID=56.1. Is this right? As for the lugs, I'm not sure yet if I'm going to use a stud conversion or bolts. I know I have to use tuners either way to fit. What I can't seem to find information on is whether the bolts (or nuts) should be ball or cone seat and I can't tell from looking at the wheels.

Any help or suggestion would me great
Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

I am pretty sure the OD is 73.1 for the TZ-10 wheel.

However, I'd recommed that you contact WheelMax by phone or e-mail. They are the dealer and would be helpful in getting you the correct rings.

I do know that the lug bolt hole is drilled for a 12mm turner lug bolt. If your MINI has the newer 14mm lug bolt, you'll have to drill out the bolt hole. I had to drill out the holes on mine, takes about 20 minutes to do. I elected to use 14mm turner lug bolts over the stud conversion. To me it just looks better than having a 1/2 inch of stud showing out the top of the wheel lug.

I purchased my lug bolts from Excalibur Wheel http://www.excaliburwheel.com/

They are shown on the lower right hand side of the page.
