Bill,

The car looks good! I really like the wheels. What brand are they, what size are they, and what offset are you running. I am looking for a set of wheels to run 315's on all four corners myself.

They are OZ competition rims, 17x11 with the Grandsport offset. They fit great but are very heavy, but I got them cheap

Thanks Bill,
The grand sport offset is 50 mm right? Now tell me if I figured this right. 1/2*(width of wheel) + Offset/25.4 = 1/2(11)+50/25.4=7.5 inches

What do you need to do to get 315's to fit in the front?

the 315's fit on the 17x11's in the front with just a small spacer, 3/8in i think, to clear the casting bump on the spindle. other than that they fit like it was made for them

Grind the casting bump off and use a 7/32" spacer on the front. No rubbing for me.

Also I just got a pair of AFS 17x11 rims with the 38mm offset and they fit with no spacer, the 50mm offset needs the spacer. Eday is a good source for afs rims
