New wheels scratched in shipping

[whirledpeaz]

I bought sve drifts and tires for my s197 from LMR. Had a small issue but Brian went out of his way to correct it. OP, glad you got it resolved.

Anybody know the bore size for our cars so I can get some hub centric spacers?

Did you get the squared 10" set-up? Obviously its too late now but I talked to another forum member who got that set-up and he needed 5mm spacers to get the dust caps to fit. He did say that even with the spacer and his PP Brembos, it was a little close. And with the non-PP calipers being wider, that could be the issue. If you have the 8.5", then I can't comment.

So the df5 wheels wont clear stock gt brakes

If I remember, 70.5. PM some of the wheel vendors to be sure.

According to the OP, no. You'll need spacers up front.

What's odd is that I've spoken to guys who are running the same wheel and tire setup and have 0 issues, that's why I pulled the trigger on these

Did you ask if they were PP cars?

No. I thought the PP brakes were bigger so I assumed if they fit those cars, it'd fit the non-PP. Rookie mistake I guess.

If I remember correctly, the PP calipers are more narrow than the base GT brakes

OP, have you resolved your issue?

Yes, finally. Got them installed today. Had to wait on my 5mm spacers from AmericanMuscle.com to come in. The wheels sit flush with the fenders and no rubbing/clipping/scratching anywhere. These really are nice, I just think I got a bad batch the first go around. I'll post up pics here in a few.

Here's the stance. Excuse the dirty car and tires. I've got black lug nuts too but I have to take it to a shop, I don't have a thin wall socket.

On that last pic, you can see where the wheel was scraping the caliper.
