short story. since I got my new brakes the rims that I had for less than a year will not fit as you can see by the spokes. well the dude at wheelsnext told me about these tenzo's which are 215/35/18 they fit excellent but as you can see they stick out way to much I'm affraid that if I go over a bump they will defently rub. but I kinda like the new rims that I got. The ones I had were the spiders the ones I just got are on the rear which are the tenzo's dc5 gunmetel. I called wheelsnext and trying to get them to send me out my original size of 215/40/17 I know they will fit also with the clearence issues. anywho on with the pictures. I don't know if I like it how they stick out so far











let me know what you think.

you will rub unless you roll your fenders.

their is a tool you can buy to roll them or you can use a pipe.

I'm hack so i use a pipe. you use it to bend the undersie of the fender so it won't cut the tire.

I like the rims that are on the front much better than the ones on the rear. Are the ones on the front the ones you are going to keep?

unfortunatly not due to the clearence issues. even i do 18's in those they still won't clear the caliper. sucks I know because I really like those as well.

yeah um those other wheels look like they are the wrong offset, they do stick out an awful lot and do not look like they need to

Tenzo what? Those look just like Axis Spiders.





Strange similarities. I'm pretty sure the Spider from Axis is discontinued though, but I guess anyone can copy the design then.

This look like the same issue with my 13" brakes.. I have 18's on my car and the damn caliper still rubbed with the design of my spoke.. Well i went and grabbed two 5/16" spacers and F body 2.5" wheel studs so my rims would clear my calipers.. They stick out about less than a half inch from the fender and yes ive rubbed many times.. I need to roll my fenders ASAP..

Lookin good though man.

Those rims are nothing compared to my rims based on how they stick out. I personally think you will be fine with them. Look at my rims...LOL




Cheers...

yeah my wheels have a 35mm offset, so they stick out a little bit...... but I kinda like the look personally

plus when i do the 12" n-body swap, i shouldn't have to worry about caliper clearance or even the different bolt pattern since mine are dual lug design

sucks your having issues though...... as suggested try rolling the fenders

ok needing help here, can't use those tenzo's so I'm sending them back, by looking at the spokes on the wheels below they will clear the caliper correct? since the spokes go in a outward posistion?



thanks for the help
