wheel question.......
Hi-
My rims/tires came in today so I went to pick them up and get them installed. Here are the specs:
front : 19X8.5 et+35 235/35/19
rear : 19X9.5 et+35 265/35/19
the rears had absolutely NO problem bolting right on. the fronts were another story. the rim wasn't clearing the brake caliper by probably 12-15mm. I really don't know what the problem is, other than the fact that this is probably the wrong offset for my car.
I e-mailed LUKE at tire-rack and he told me that it should have worked....????
the exact rim is the ADR 5-spoke Spartan in chrome.
************************************************** ***********
so now, i've given up on trying to buy budget wheels for my car and have decided on either DCR, I-forged, GFG, or MAYA.
Can anybody PLEASE help me w/ the specs for the front wheels so I can get the ordered?
thank you very much,
AL
