Default Re: Help! bought set wheels, what now Wheels not fit? is this true?

It's hard to say but it should not. The only way to know is to do a test fit. Because of the 40 offset if you were able to mount them you would be over an inch deeper into the well than stock. The spacer should just push it out to the edge of the fender so it is flush.

Here is my 19x9.5 et25 with 285x30


With the right size spacer you should be some place similar. You could mount it up loosely and pull it out to where you want it and then see how big of a spacer you would need to get it there. The face looks flat so I don't think there would be any issues contacting the caliper etc, that would be the only reason you would need to push them out further than the well, in that case new rims would be needed unless you want to start rolling fenders. Chains (Firestone etc.) don't like to mess with spacers, if you have a custom wheel shop around you may want to get another opinion from them.

Check this post for some inspiration, not all hope is lost, very similar to yours but even bigger.
