Boss 302R wheels

Hey guys im about to pick up a set of 18x10 boss 302r wheels for cheap and while they have the same bolt pattern as the evo, their offset is about 45 and they require 60 degree conical lugs. I was thinking just about making a spacer (I have access to the tools and equipment) and finding a lug that will work but something tells me its not going to be this simple. I have very little wheel knowledge about what these things mean, thankfully some friends have told me that I might need new studs, or just incorporate new ones into the spacers I make.

These are the wheels, I appreciate any help.

pretty sure you can find these or very similar on tire rack to use without a spacer

Looks like the Raijins. Maybe Enkei copied these?

How cheap are you getting these wheels? Are they cheaper than going with a new set of Enkei Raijins?

Edit: ^^^^ beat me to it

They didn't copy this wheel. Similar wheels have been around for years.

As for lugs, here's a chart on the difference. If you're having difficulty finding lugs, they also call conical type "acorn" type.

Also, make sure that they do require acorn type seat. In the pics, the 302R wheels looks like they are mag type. Of course stock pictures aren't always accurate but since they are OEM wheels, it's possible for it to be mag type (since almost every car on the road with aluminum wheels are mag type from factory).

When making these spacers, do pay attention to the centerbore. I believe that the Boss wheels have a centerbore that is smaller than ours.
