You'll need a set of tuner nuts by the sound of it - they have a tool that turns the nuts from the inside. My inovit torques needed these and its quite common now, especially on multi-fitment alloys.

Most aftermarket wheels need bigger nuts as the subaru OE ones are quite small.
All Prodrive wheels have a special insert to allow the re-use of the Subaru wheel nuts.

Hi there

Depends on size wheels and ET,but maybe you will need at rear too wheel spacers(5mm),because they will not clear Brembo callipers

On Drag DR31 we can use any nuts(OE Subaru we are used too),but on Rota we are must used as above longer nuts

Speak with Rich@Mags RTS(he is dealer for Rota,Inovit etc.)
