I dont know... i have drivin it about 5 miles so far and its hard to tell... I guess I need to drive it semi hard and then see where the marks are??




Thanks everyone for the compliments...and yes the rears couldve been more aggressive... I think everyones first set of rims could be more aggressive.... at least thats what I hear and read... so next set will be perfect im sure...

your front will probably rub if your wheels are turned and you go over a bump or something. maybe even during hard cornering.. for the front, just look inside the wheel well.. if it's rubbing in the front, it's probably rubbing the metal inside where it's rolled back up, or right on the bottom edge

In no rush with the crappy weather coming towards the end of this week.

As long as I know they are here, I'm good!

I actually think the rubbing is on the inside rear. From the picture, it looks like there is room for 11".

A 10" on my sedan sits much closer to flush. To get a 10.5" and still be inside the fender that much might actually mean the rear offset might be too high. This is easy to fix with spacers or installing rear camber arms.

To the OP ... Did DPE recommend the offsets or did your reseller? Maybe you can get free spacers if this is the problem.

Also ... does your car have RAS?

The rear on our late model G35/G37 can go MUCH closer to flush without rubbing:

Terry got his wheels from DPE directly as well.

Do you know what offsets they made your wheels in? I know DPE doesn't release info on offsets, but I thought you might know anyhow....
