I would definitely send them back and get the correct offset. In addition to just not looking right. That's just asking for damage.

I've gotten good responses from guys at driver and my350Z running the same offsets. The clearance is exaggerated because the car is in the air and the camber is probably sitting positive compared to mormal. Once it's back on the ground it should look more normal and the camber should fall back negative. I may have to raise the car back up a quarter of an inch or so, but I was going to do that anyways. We'll see how it goes.

go for it. i think it will look perfect. you might have to setup some camber but with your coilovers it wont be a problem at all. everyone else is right about it sitting in the air like that.... once it sits on the ground with some tires mounted, its going to look perfect. you will have the best wheel/tire setup in vegas as far as im concerned.

I think it will look perfect once you set her down. Just make sure you put some DR's on the back!

what size are they? offset? i'm sure you know, but once tires have been mounted you can't return them.
anyone interested in a set of 18" drag radials?

Remember, unless you plan on going for the "streched" look, the tires are going to stick out 1/4 - 1/2" more than the rims.

Well I'm going to run pretty much the same tire sizes that I ran on the Mayas. A 275 on the rear 10.5 which should be pretty close to even and a 245 on the front 9.5 wich might be a little on the stretch side.

Which reminds me that I have a used set of Toyo T1S 275/35r19 and 245/35r19 sitting around if anyone wants them. They are in decent condition and they're free.

They'd make a nice backup set for anyone still running T1Ss since you can't get replacements anymore.

No cracking, just some uneven wear because of all the negative camber that I was running. You're welcome to check them out.

Yogi said that someone in town has a rolling tool. I'll let you know if I can get a hold of it.
