Some help please!

Stuck here...

Bought some wheels and the seller said it would clear BBK. Wheels arrive and surpise surprise they dont clear the front calipers. I put on my 25mm's and there is some room to go to a smaller spacer. Im replacing the front tires tomorrow from a 235/35 to a 225/35. Would a pull fix this with the "hopeful offsets" ?

Original offset = 19x9.5 ET -4

Current offset = 19x9.5 ET -29

Hopeful offset #1 = 19x9.5 ET -19

Hopeful offset #2 = 19x9.5 ET -24

Looks like they'll fit with ease? Or maybe we're just used to much more pressing situations of fitment. A little camber adjustment and you're there.

please do not pull these fenders. it looks so bad on this style arch. get the smaller spacer and add a little camber if you have to. it''s not worth the permanent damage to your car to do half ass fitment work.

yeah man... the Order low disk does not clear factory BBK. it barely fits the slimmer aftermarket bbk....

Car looks good... like others have said... smaller spacer, narrower tires and a little camber and you're good to go...

Enjoy and have fun.

Getting there... put on a 225/35 today but still no good. Been trying to outsource a 20mm spacer to see if I need to overnight a camber kit beofre the show.
