i need to aliminated the extra gap / space between the top of the tires in the group of the photo's. but make the gap more to the factory amount of gap please.

my day of after 3 years of rim shopping did not go good at all with the test fitting. the rims are just sitting on the very edge of the studs. so could not bolt up and lower the car or other test fitting steps.

apparently the shop did not get the offset right everytime they mentioned it previously to me ,and the bolt pattern if it was 5x114.3 it did not work , it may have even been 5x4.5 ???? just a hair off fitting.

they could not find any markings of bolt pattern on back of rim. now car is in storage for next 6 months.

What ever offset that is wont work anyway. You can just see by the rear rims that they are going to stick out to much. Also If they do go in a little after u bolt them up, you may run into hitting the strut..... Why dont you just wait till spring for the wheels. save up for them and just buy them new. The winter will give u time to get the funds together.....

ya theres about 1 inch or more space before those test rims were to lay againest the rotor hub surface. so you don't think the 18x8.5 +34 ,5x114.3 would work ??

according to my earlier ruff measurements i took , and the offset chart measurements ( 17mm less from back of rim to strut ) + ( 33mm extra from front rim edge to fender lip ) it looks like i would clear the struts by about 5mm or slightly more and it . aren't those clearable and good look measurements ?? YOU KNOW BETTER THEN ME

i am going to save the money foresure BUT no way would i buy any rims 4 of them not knowing first if they fit properly and look great. i know i love the apperance of the foose speedsters on there own.

and the design looks great on my car . it's a question can i find the right fit and that fit not sit in to far or too far out . i do mind a combo that goes close to the fender lip as that tends to give a wide fat tire look.

LISTEN I ALWAYS APPRECIATE EVERYONE and EVERTIME someone helps me . and i am alays willing to return the favor.
