I have a 2009 Gsedan and received my wheels two weeks ago, and a 3 days after installation I blew a tire and slightly bent a rear wheel (my fault, I should have been more cautious, and forgot how to drive with 20's). Anyway, yesterday I got my new tire, and it turns out the rear wheel, which was supposed to be 10" wide with a 38mm rear offset, turns out to be a 35mm rear offset.

I'm not 100% sure how it happened. Either the wrong wheel was ordered by my dealer, or the manufacturer sent me the wrong wheel. I'm adding my Eibach lowering springs tomorrow, but as of now the rear wheel sticks out quite a bit. My dealer helped me remove my felt liner on the inside, just in case the 3mm difference.

My question to the forum is on your thoughts on the 38mm rear offset vs. the 35mm rear. Do you think this 3mm difference will cause the rear to rub in the rear? Would you recommend sending them back (keep in mind I did slightly bend one of the wheels, so i'm not sure how it would work out)

I'm installing the pro-kit tomorrow, so I should know fitment soon. Just wanted to hear some of the thoughts from the pro's out there. Thanks for any help.

 

it does make a difference and should match. i'd hav them order the correct wheel

 

3mm is little I'd keep it, it might even look better

 

Now i'm torn 50/50. I just got the call that the springs have been installed, so I'm about to head out to pick it up now and see how it looks. Thanks for the help so far.

 

keep it, 10 width and 35mm is a good offset for the sedan. wont make that much of a difference with the 38mm anyway.

 

I doubt 3mm will the be the difference in rubbing or not, specially in those offsets and 10" wide...
