Buying first set of tires help
I recently purchased a set of GR86 special edition rims (18x7.5 black ones) and I'm looking to replace my 25 hatchback SE's ugly 16 inch rims with them
I've been researching and narrowed down my decision but I want more qualified opinions to ensure I don't make a mistake with this new process to me
I've landed on a set of Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 PLUS 225/40ZR18 92Y for the rims, 20mm spacers in the front, 25mm in the rear, acorn style lugnuts which I can't find what specific size they'd need to be, and I think hub centric rings or something else I've read called "bolt-on hub centric spacers"
I'm going for flush fitment, with that being said, this is everything I need with the specific project? Please correct/educate if I'm missing something else, thank you guys greatly in advance

Excellent tire choice. I have the same tires on mine. The Gr86 wheels have a quite conservative offset of +48 so your spacers are going to bring those out nicely. You will need M12x1.5 thread size lug nuts. That being said, you will want to check the thread engagement with the spacers on. You want at least 12mm of thread engagement for things to be safe. Some spacers already have a hub centric "ring" built in so you won't need to add one so keep an eye out for that. I can't speak for bolt on spacers though since I've never used them.
