PROBLEM with smoothie II I have 17x8 for the front and 17x10 smoothie II for the back. I think the sponsor sent me the wrong offset for the rear wheels. It is suppose to be 38mm offset, but when I measured it I only have about 6mm. It looks real bad on the car. The top of my 285 tires sticks out about a 1.25 inches from the top of my fender. I need to make some phone calls Monday. Does anyone else have this problem?

Do those tires clear the outer fender for suspension travel? I need mine to go in two inches to clear the fender.

If yours are sticking out from the top of the rear fender lip as you state, then you definatly were sent the wrong offset and backspacing needed for the f-bods. The rear lip on your 17x10's should be about a little over 3.5". I ordered mine from Discount and everything was correct.
