    i know is a repost, but pleasesssss help

    i tried to do some research first before i decided to post this. i found similar problems but not exactly the answer and no way i am going to guess.

    i have a set of enkei RP03 18x8.5 offset 35 FRONT, 18x7.5 offset 48 REAR.

    i actually had 7.5 all the way around it looked awesome, i bought a set of BBK 330x24, and with the offset 48 it wont clear it...

    so i bought 2, 8.5 offset 35 for the front, now is sticking out too FAR,

    it just get to the point that i cannot stand it any more because it looks so groofy. i am planning on putting the 8.5 to the Rear and order 18x8 offset 40 for the front, do you guys think it will clear my 330x24 BBK, should i just sell them all and buy a new set of rim to prevent future problems?

    again sorry if i repost this, now i am just getting so exhaust about the problem, i love the 8g, unfortuately i do not have the knowledge,

    thanks

    measure how much space you have from the back of the spokes to the caliper. say you have 6mm to play with. bring the wheel to a machine shop, ask them to mill 4mm off the back of the wheel. now the wheels will sit in a little more and still clear the caliper. If they still stick out, toss some negative 2 degree camber up there.

    other than that, its just hit or miss when buying wheels and seeing if they will clear the calipers or not.
