Henry,

Thanks so much for the feedback. I was so memorized that the wheels looked so good and just hoped that the rubbing would improve over time as the tires and plastic liner wear thinner. I suspect the wheels are really +20mm .

I'm concluding from your feedback now that my only real options are either to do embrace the hard task of rolling plastic lined fenders or taking the wheels back and getting what I ordered in the first place. I feel like I should have inspected the wheels more carefully when I accepted delivery.

yeah try to see if you can work on the fenders. i have to say, i have nnever look at it in details, but of the several times i studied it, i simply gave up

if you can get it to fit though, that's awesome for sure

hey josh, come to the all sc430 meet!

The fit of those wheels look like they are set up like my Walds. You may remember I had the same issue. I think steve ganz said they were 35. I had a shop shave the lip and they did something to fix the plastic lining.

I think I'm headed down the shaving road as well. Weny where did you go?

A wheel place that SRT recommended. I forgot the name but its right at route 1 and 95 in college park.

Oh, so it has been done? Do you have pics of the work? Any tips on how the plastic lining was secured after being shaved?

ummm yeah now i remember our discussions from back then, weny. maybe you can take pics and see what they did

one thing i forgot, was your car lowered or anything back then with the wheels and you rubbed? i wonder if lowering has anything to do with it. coz' i still can't believe that my wheels are easy 11mm more outboard but mine clear fine

sc430blue

My car wasnt lowered, so I guess I dont have the tuck in advantage. Cars in the paint shop, if I can get to it, I'll take photos. I couldnt find the specs Steve gave me on the wheels but he's pretty good at sizing the wheels to our cars.

I'll be getting it done hopefully in the next few days so I'll take pics once it's finished.

ok in that case, MAYBE lowering is mandatory to get it work, coz' of the camber dial in?

tonydt1g3r

its the camber like I said before the lower you go the easier it should clear

bt430

That's certainly not the case in my situation the lower I go the more I rub. In fact I've rubbed so much I've worn away the seam between the plastic wheel well liner and the fender moulding in the wheel well. Now we've got a little loose fender liner.
