Default Rebel rim problem?
I just tried to put on some 18 by 9 rebels in the front with 275 35 18 tires and they stick out?

um yeah... Rebels are only available in a 24mm offset in that size.. so yeah, they'll stick out a bit

I doubt you can have 12mm somehow machined off the face of the wheel mounting surface... so no

perhaps send them back?

I've been looking to see if there are some offset A-arm bushings that would pull the wheel in but I dont know if there's enough adjustment in the strut mounting to align the wheel properly afterwards...
