Default new C5 rims/tires rubbing?

I just bought some OEM C5 rims and in the back when I try and throw the car sideways they are hitting the front inner fender. Is that normal or is something bunk with my suspension? its a 2001 btw. Do I just need to buy a spacer? Thanks for the info, im headed out the door to class or I would have searched.

if they are oem...I figured the backs would run (the offset is too high) but the fronts should be fine

yeah, the backs are what rub ;[ Can I pound the fender in with a hammer or do I need spacers?

theyre rubbing at about the 10 oclock position right? BFH mod....Big freakin hammer. When you take the wheel off youll see exactly where it is. hammer that spot in a little bit (make sure your back seat is already up) and youll be good to go

I have OEM Y2K wheels. Just do the BFH mod, I did and it worked great.
