HELP!! ADR Wheels wont clear
Im stressing out, My bro bought a set of ADR M-Sports for his C320 sedan size 18x8.5. The front wheel doesnt clear and is touching the shock, the tire shop didnt try the backs. Can i use a spacer in the front to make it fit??

Spacer will help but I think you should get the correct set of wheels for your car. If the wheel touch the shock, that means it has wrong offset and/or size.
Bring it back and get the right wheels for your car. If you can't gring the wheels back and have to buy spacer, don't forget to buy longer bolts too.

I understand this is the answer but is there a spacer out there that will fit the front of the car and help the curent situation? H&R 10mm will not fit the hub. Can someone please help answer the question with the same rims that are already purchased. IS there a 10mm spacer for the front of the car that fits correctly with the bolt pattern that matches. Thanks
