I definately had 35mm offset winter wheels and it cause a major issue on my '07 Base Coupe. I broke the retainer springs on both sides of the rear. It made a major noise issue and did not make me feel very safe. Luckily, I was under warranty and got the dealership to replace them...but it did cost me a couple days rental...

Heed MisterTaz' warning...

Like the old saying goes... measure twice, cut once.

Or in this case: measure twice, mount once.



But now I have the SRT and won't make that mistake again.
