Default Re: New Wheels in, need help

Update:
Just got home and after test fitting the wheels, I can confirm that the 35mm offset on the front clears fine and the center caps fit as well. This is with 18x8.5's. I have a minimum 1/2 inch of clearance between the inside of the wheel and the suspension.
I think your are going to need 12mm spacers on your fronts to get the clearance for the caps and the suspension while keeping the wheel under the fender. Wish you were closer to me as I'd be happy to let you try them out.
My current stumbling block is that my front lug bolts are too long now. Suprisingly, 40mm shank lug bolts work perfectly on the rears with a 12mm spacer due to the reduced thickness of the TSW's at the mounting pad. Hoping to get everything mounted tomorrow. I'm too tired from driving all day and I have to go look at a new house in an hour.

Pics will follow of course.

James, If you want any specific measurements/pics from my set up, Let me know. I've got to track down my camera and my metric tape measure!
