yup.

 

From your statement of "all stock" and judging from your pics, you are at stock ride height. And you're running ridiculous +43 offsets. So that's why it's "not true" for you. Your experience is contrary to everyone else who runs a 305 setup at the rear.

You are the first person I have seen on the forums running a 305 width on an unlowered Z or G with such offsets. My statement was intended for the rest of us with 305's who lower our cars and run more common offsets. Rolling my fenders wouldn't have been recommended to me by Intense and iForged if they felt it wasn't necessary.

 

The bulk of the people with 305s are running a 10" wheel with a +35 offset or so. You run a 19x11 +35 and had to roll the fenders. This is what you/Intense/iForged chose to do to get the flush look you wanted instead of pulling the wheel in a little more. I am running a 10.5" wheel at an essential +33 offset with the 10mm spacer. Yes, it is at stock height, but it has been fully loaded during autox and has never rubbed at front or rear. You said "running a 305 on the rear requires the fenders to be rolled and maybe even pulled depending on the offset of the wheel being used" which is simply not true without further clarification.

 

Congratulations. You're the exception.

 

Found out that they got the center pieces mixed up, the front rims make contact inside, which it didnt before,now they have spacers and now the back ones stick out alot. I can bet they got the pieces mixed. unfortunately my car decided to retire, im gonna take it in monday morning to fix my engine problem.

 

LOL Let's hope it's something that simple! If they mistakenly put your front spacers on your rear wheels as you suspect, please post pics once you get those spacers back where they belong!

 

 

i mean the center piece of the rims...


I never had any problems with my front rims making contact, now they have spacers. ill let you guys know.

 

Gotchya now. Thanks for clarifying.

How were the center pieces possibly mixed up? Why were they removed in the first place? Did you get wider hubs for the new tire setup? And it's hard to tell from those pics... Do the fronts & rears have different profiles/contours to the face that would affect the offset?

 

I'm shocked that people aren't saying this looks good. I guess if the wheel was even wider and the tire was stretched, they would. I've seen some serious nut swingers on horrible fitments lately. People are rocking spacers to get flush wheels to stick out and getting worshiped for it. I guess "skated" wheels from the 80s are making a come back. Sucks that your wheels don't fit, OP.

 

i got them powdercoated, and the lip repolish to a mirror finish. The reason why im saying they got mixed is because why would i need spacers in the front rims now, before the rim would go right in and wouldnt touch anything in the back. if i dont have the spacers, the rim makes contact ....then my back rims are sticking out that much...well im not gonna mess with them till they fix my car now.

 

Before




after got the rims fixed!






random pics of them getting fixed

 

apparently not everyone knows how to do offsets right!

 

Looks MUCH better! Congrats on figuring out the problem and getting it resolved.

 

thanks, now i just need alittle drop.

 

I'm sorry... but hahahaha that looked goofy as hell.


Now drop that thing!

 

:think:

Some people prefer function over looks, and wheels with offsets that stick them out past the fender and require stretched tires just look homo.


Good reply.

 

which tires are you talking abuot? the ones in your pic reply or mine??

 

I still have my stock setup..but i got what i wanted, rims and tires lined up with the fender. so im happy.

 

STFU NOOB!!!! Function over Form!
