Are you absolutely sure the wheel is flush/flat on that spacer??
Everyone I’ve read, including the ones I had on my car, required either trimming the studs or grinding the pocket in the back of the wheel in order for the wheel to sit flat against the spacer. It’s close but the wheel was actually sitting on the end of the stud instead of flat against the spacer without modification.

I'm with you, this is why i went 25mm all around.

I would triple check.

Thanks for your interest and concern. Spacers were used, so the studs may--perhaps, it seems, likely--have been trimmed/resized in advance.

I think you’re misunderstanding the interference issue. It’s not the wheel spacer studs that require trimming it’s the ones on your car. When you bolt up a 20mm spacer the stock wheel studs will protrude too far past the face of the wheel spacer, therefore forcing the wheel’s mounting surface to sit against the end of the wheel studs instead of flat against the spacer.

I'll look...but I didn't note any trouble with the fit...haven't noticed any issues since the install...but now I'm kinda nervous...so, again, thanks for the interest.

Follow up: everything is flush.

Something about this angle and those wheels almost looks like a new edge

What size wheels and tires? Spacers?

OEM gt350 wheels, no spacers. Fronts are 19x10.5 +30 with 295/35 MPSS. Rears are 19x11 +60 with 305/35 MPSS. Pay no attention to how dirty the car is. I’ve only driven it five times since Christmas and haven’t had time to give it a proper scrub down

Wow. I've been waiting to see this for a long time. The front looks good. Plan on running a spacer for better clearance ?

And I'm assuming to run a square set up with the front sizes all the way around would poke too much in the back

Nah. I’ll keep an eye on it but with the stretch in the sidewall, I don’t think they’ll be moving very much. I’ll see if I can find them and link you to them, but I looked through dozens of fitment threads and I found a few where a decent amount of people were running 19x10.5 square set ups. My goal was a wide, truly square set up with no spacers. I wanted some 19x10’s with 30-35 offset but when I found these for the price, I couldn’t pass. You can run a 10.5 +30 in the rear but you need some negative camber to get them to fit well in my opinion. Even then, there’s still some poke. If you look through the aggressive fitments thread, there’s some good stuff in there. A lot of reading though

Thanks and I know some don't like them because of weight. Do you feel a difference in the increased weight of the wheels ?

I had the 20” foundry wheels before so I actually lost a pound or two per corner. I haven’t hit enough bumps to really comment on ride quality but I haven’t noticed a difference so far in that department. The steering is more responsive and feels sharper. The only negative I’ve found so far is the tramlining. But I’ll deal with that for all the positives

Steeda extreme springs at the moment.
