Wheel rant and fitment question

[WItoTX]

Im running 295 fronts 305 rears.

It was the face of the wheel that was hitting the brake. So they couldn't even be bolted on.

Yeah man, the correct answer was a spacer on the originals most likely. You would have needed extended studs. Would the outside of the wheel/tire hit the top of the wheel well though? It seems like something about the ratios of the barrel location to the hub location is off.

It's hard to really judge based on the photos you sent, but I'd be asking them to help you get it sorted out. But I'm picky like that, and I'd even front some of the cost for them to get it right. And they should have known it would look goofy, they are the experts.

Just my opinion though.

100% agreed! I think because they tried to frankenstein old parts onto the new wheels its throwing off the measurements. Also if they had told me as the experts it would look like this we could have found a better solution most likely.
