2017 C43 Coupe - need wheel help!
I'll try to keep this as concise as possible - I have a 2017 C43 Coupe with the stock 19 setup (19 x 7.5 @ 33 offset / 19 x 8.5 @ 52 offset) . I just bought new wheels and made two key mistakes:
1 - I trusted the "guaranteed fit" qualifier on a wheel vendor website
2 - I didn't find these forums until after I had already placed the order
The wheels I bought: TSW Nurburgring - 19 x 8.5 @ 32 offset / 19 x 9.5 @ @ 53 offset. So I go to test mount the fronts and there is no way they are going to fit around (over? next to?) the suspension, even without a tire on the rim it makes contact immediately.
What are my options, if any? The website guaranteed they would fit so if all else fails I can send them back, but I really love the wheels themselves, not to mention I live in Canada and shipping will be a nightmare especially if I have to exchange them.
I am currently on page 4 of the Great Fitment Post and am learning a lot already, so I'm not trying to cheat and skip doing the work (alright, yes I am.)
Are spacers an option with these specific wheels or do I have to take my chances with customer service?
Thanks in advance.
