I bought... rims... 19X8 with 40mm offset...

And it rubs crazy.... ( I lowered my car with H&R)....

Is there any solution...?

I kind of cut the fenders... too...

 

Either hack those fenders till they fit or sell the wheels. I prefer the latter.
8" widths require a minimum +49 offset or, well you know what'll happen.

 

I was thiking put

H&R o.e just for the front

and Stock for the rear...

What do you think...?

 

3 options

1 - Raise the car
2 - Cut the fender lining/roll the fenders
3 - Sell the wheels

 

Not even stock shocks and springs can help you out. Your wheel/tire combo must be sticking out from the fenders. The wheels are just too wide for the car.

 

No comment.

 

sell them................was it too good a deal to pass up,how did this happen?

 

actually... it's perfectly.. even....

 

I bought from tirerack.com... these people toally screwed me up...

I guess it's kind of my fault to... since, I didn't check the off set...

 

Ditto. There's nothing you can do to fix your problem with those wheels. Put your stock wheels back on and sell the 19s. All you're doing is a shaving miles off your tires.

 

oh i see.....yeah tirerack never does actual testing,they only look at spec's(and I guess not well)

 

I was thinking of getting camber arm kit for rear...

And I would just use neg set-up and camber that it....

I know I have to change tires more often... but... It seems like this is the only option... or putting stocks back on... =)

 

If TireRack told you they'll fit and they didn't, then they should take them back. Give it a shot. I'm sure they have some sort of return policy.

 

they said they would work and they didnt. take them back.

 

One of the guys on the CL forum has this setup 19x8 with a 40 offset and he says he doesnt rub but he cut the tabs and rolled the fenders.

 

Actually his is 19x8.5 with a 40 offset check post #9

 

I'm shocked they even sold them to you once you told them what car you had. They were anal over not wanting to sell me a 18 x 7.5 with a 45 offset and that setup works with our cars.

Just sell them and get a different wheel. So much less headache.

 

Just go ahead and sell them bro. I used to run a 19x8 with a 42 offset without any drop and it rubbed sometimes.

 

woo... what the hell... really... w/o drop... it rubbed...

 

Thanks for every single opinion guys...

 

I suspect that CL's have a different body clearance than the TL's. Not just you, I have heard many different CL owners who have successfully fitted wheel/tire setups which on TL would rub like crazy. So it will definitely help to stay with the experiences from TL owners, unless you own a CL.

 

Guys... I bought a new set of rims... I will post picture soon...

 

So... I'm selling my SSR GT-7 at black market....

Take a look...
