Very disappointed with 305..*pics*

Agreed! 275FR/305RR (on 19s, no rubbing, all stock)
Not true.
Again not true. I have had 18x10 +43 and 18/19x10.5 +43 with a stock set-up and no issue. I've since added a 15mm spacer to push the 305-combo more flush with the fender, but it worked in both locations (i.e. with and without the spacer).

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.

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.

DOH!
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.

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.

Gotchya now. Thanks for clarifying.

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.
