yep lots of rubbing on the side walls. I already cut the back so plenty of room there. The front I need to roll but scared to do i without a heat gun and that eastwood tool so I need to find some to do it for me. I was thinking of using a bat - but scared I'll mess up. I did take out that black fender liner piece and cut some metal around the screws that hold the bumper and fender together as it was cutting into the tires.
The tires on there are 245/35 and 285/30. I'm thinking my next set would need to be 245/30 and 295/25. I'm AWD and the diameters need to the same. What do you think? I'm worried about the 25 series.

ok I got them on now...pleased that I was able to get a great deal but not digging all the chrome. The quality of this 3 piece rim is pretty nice and the chrome is one the best i've seen. i wish my car was black that way it wouldn't look too bad. Anyways I had to raise the car up a bit, shave 1/2 of the rear fenders, and used a heat gun to push in the inner liner in the fronts. However I'm still rubbing when I turn and dips and noticed I'm not just rubbing on plastic but the metal pieces behind the liner where the bumper and the fender connect. I used a dremel to cut away as much as I can but it looks like I have only two options:
- Raise the car (for whatever reason this hurts more than dropping the extra cash for tires)
- Buy a new set (240/30/20 & 295/25/20 - sad because these rims came with some pretty new Michelin pilots).
Here are some pics. Yeah - I'm not digging the chrome either. I wonder if I can get the face polished, machined, or power coated. Oh yeah the real center caps are on the way. No wonder the original owner didn't want them, they are like $60 bucks each.

Looks clean, too bad its not lower
In all honesty Joe, the rims looked better on Tommy's car. You need to figure out a way to drop it lower

congrats on the purchase.. are they chrome or highly polished? either way, they look very nice on your car.. it blends well with white exterior.. i like the design of wheels too.. i know what you mean about raising the car.. i'm rubbing front and back, but i still refuse to raise it up.. hopefully you will take care of that rubbing issue for good..

i think any rim would look better on tommy's ride because he is dumped. He was rolling on cut DF210s with like a 4" drop. This is my daily driver putting about 100 miles a day so I can't do that.
What color should I powder coat the faces on these? silver, gun metal? I'll leave the lip chrome. Tommy had me cracking up when he said power coat the lips white. I said hell no.
