Reddit reviews McGard 65554BK Black SplineDrive Wheel Installation Kit (M12 x 1.25 Thread Size) - for 5 Lug Wheels

I spent a ton of time looking at different posts here when deciding on my wheel and tire setup, getting frustrated with pictures without details and second guessing if I had what needed. Just in case it helps someone like me in the future, here is a full linked list of everything I needed for the wheels:


>Black Rhino Boxers, 15x7, 5/100 bolt pattern
These are hard to link to a direct purchase, as stock always changes. I ended up buying them on eBay, as discount tire are dicks and wouldn't even sell me the wheels to take with me, as "there's no way that those will fit on your crosstrek". Wherever you find them, be careful as they come in a few different bolt patterns. You need 5x100.


> BFG ko2s 215/75r15.

>Hubcentric rings for the Black Rhino's through Subtle Solutions These are specifically for the boxers, you don't need them if you're getting the method mr502 which seem to be crazy popular here.


>Mcgard 12x1.25 tapered lugsThese will also work for the method mr502s if you're getting those.

That's it.


edit because I lied... I also got new tpms sensors, as I'm keeping my stock wheels to put winter tires on and don't want to have to go through resetting tpms sensors and having tires re-mounted every time.

> This set from tpms is clone-able and worked beautifully for me.

They look even better in person! I got a set of black McGard spline drive lugs along with wheel locks. Debated a while on Gorillas and Mutekis, but durability wise, McGard seemed to hold up better compared to the other brands.

Should probably mention that I only researched brands with locking lug nuts, just to help me sleep better at night.

Mcgards, I've used them on all my cars spline + lock.

They might work, it depends on the wheels you got. When I got new wheels for my car, the stock lug nuts were too wide.
So i got these instead, and they look really good.

Valve stem should work just fine.
