if that link doesn't work try post #465 in this thread, it has the clickable link (i copied and pasted the "abbreviated link" from that post since ebay is blocked at my work)
i also contacted that seller and instead of making them a lower offer on ebay i asked if they would throw in an extra key for the buy it now price and they did

Actually, "acorn" refers to the 60 degree conical seat...just another name but definitely the hub side. Honestly, I used gorilla's on my aspecs for the longest time with zero issues.

I don't know if this has already been answered or not ( I couldn't find it), but I have an 04 TL and if I wanted to keep the stock rim size, what size of the XXR 530 should I get?

F&F HeelToe Type1 v2 ...and I had 19x9.5 ...These are 18x9.75 in rear and the answer is YES! They do rub. But a smooth rub since fenders are rolled the stretched wall of the tire rubs on the folded lip in the rear. It will req more extensive fender mods. Those are the tweaks I will be attending to soon to get a lower aggressive stance and poke.

XXR + H&R Sport Springs
Hey guys...just thought I would share my 
For the people who are deciding on getting springs with these rims - DONT!!!. Same money & get Coilovers... But over all they look 'OK'. I just wish i could go lower
Rims
18 x 8.75 +20 (Front)
18 x 9.75 +20 (Rear)
All wrapped Achilles 225/40/18
Currently dropped on H&R Sport Springs
FRONT - Looks decent with the width size and drop.
Front - TOP view
REAR - The H&R Springs isnt that low in the rear so the wheel gap is a little too much & it pokes a little for my taste (another reason to go lower). I did roll the rear fenders.
Rear - TOP view
Please excuse her - she's Dirty!!!. But hope this helps. If you guys need more pics just PM me.

Doot, looks awesome, man. I have H&R's on my wife's car and same issue, rear didn't drop enough for us. I ended up cutting 1 of the dead coils (a coil that offers no rebound when compressed) and it didn't affect the ride. Might give you that extra little bit of low you're looking for.

I've been keeping up with this thread for a while now. I see a lot of +20 offset, but does anybody have pics of the 18 x 8.75 +35 offset?
I'm not into the poked and stretched look and I'm curious what the +35 look like.

Don't forget that in losing some of the rear aggressiveness, you're going to lose a LOT of the concavity of the wheel...which, in my opinion, is the real pizzazz of this wheel.
Dooot, no real "DIY" so to speak...honestly, the first car I messed with I cut coils on the spring but didn't know much about what I was doing, basically, I cut coils that DID offer rebound and DID make it bouncy. With the H&R's...I looked at the spring when the car is sitting normally and you can see which coils do NOT offer bounce and just rest up against each other. They basically end up being like a spacer that lifts the car the height of a coil. It's as simple as removing the spring assembly, cut a coil off with a $12 harbor freight angle grinder. Done.
hard to show the comparison but here's her car originally...look at the rear
and this is it now (along with spacers and my aspecs)

Should have gotten 225's, 245's are a little wide for this offset/rim width.
