Yeah, they actually had over an inch from the edge of the wheel to the outer edge of the rear fender lip when I test-fit them without tires. They are very close to the shocks though, about a quarter inch on the inside.

Wow, this still has me in disbelief after looking at your latest pic!

Now that I just slapped on my rear 315's on a 10" wheel I can't even get to my rear shock bolts because you can't even see them from behind the car

Special order. Took 5 weeks to get them.

They can pretty much make any offset you want.

I'm still torn over the look of them compared to the Momo's, but I do like the deep lip and ZR1 type of spoke on them.
Damn! Those new wheels look MUCH sweeter than the MOMOs. More aggressive looking and "performance" looking. Momos are kinda dated now.
