Default Ruff 278 Fitment ????

I ordered these wheels in 18 35 and 45 offset. A month later they come in 20 mm offset!! How will these look on an 02 trans am? Should I lend them back? It will take another month at least!!

That really sucks. Do a search for Ruff 278's and you'll find several threads about these. Some show pictures of the 18 x 9.5 with 35mm offset. The 35 looks like the max that we could run on an f-body. So they will stick out way too far. Send them back!!!

What widths?

If they are 9" to 9.5" they will stick out of the wheel well.

They are 9.5. I called and they said send them back and they would exchange or refund. They just jerked me around for a month after I paid then to pull one over on me sent me 20 offset. I did look at the wheels and they are tight!! But I guess all of the 35 45 are back ordered. Thanks for the replies.

Normally they have the info both on the box and a sticker on the ouside barrel, where the tire is mounted normally.

I got mine off a member here on the board who said he knows the dealers, took over a month for the order to go through.

The wheels are still sitting in my living room. The HP EVO SS are in stock at several places now so I ordered them yesterday.
