Get some adams polish that crap does wonders! There was a guy on here not to long ago that got a pretty rough set looking great,think he used wheel acid,and polished the crap out of them,now I'm not saying go spray acid all over them but search for the thread maybe it will give ya some tips, those wheels are sick though

WTF?!?! You managed to get those tires on there WITHOUT mini tubbing.
Do you happen to know what the offset is on those rear wheels? I bought some
tubs for my car that I haven't installed yet. Now I'm starting to wonder if I really
need to install them. I just got motivated to put on some old clothes, jack up my
car and see if I can actually get my wheels to fit without tubbing.

I don't know the exact specs of the rims. (I haven't had time to measure them)

Pictures say a 1000x words...they fit (so far)...lol

Looks like that might be a 3" to a 3.5" lip. If I had to guess, I'd say the offset might be around 40mm.

I installed the driver's side BMR tubular LCA and after a lil more love with my BFH they clear...I won't have a chance to drive it tonight because of the weather, but I'll upload pics soon.

Ok, so I finished BFH'ing the passenger's side and installed the LCA.

The "bad" weather passed so I took it for a spin around the block with the rear 345's installed.

Looks like there were some slight rubbing issues with the outside of the tire and the rolled fenders...

I'm blaming this issue on the EIBACH SPORTLINES, I'm gonna have to figure out which springs I'm gonna need or maybe even coilovers...

OR...maybe try to flare my quarters just a tad with a real fender roller...

I'll post pics tomorrow.

(I'm sure with stock springs this wouldn't be an issue.)

This might help you out. My 345s rub a little in the same spot on my Cobra, and I know a buddy of mine said that the Eastwood fender roller has a position to flare the fender out as it rolls, and he said he got like an extra 1/2-3/4 of clearance when he rolled his with it. I'm going to try that and see if it helps. My rub isn't terrible, just whenever I hit a really big bump or dip in the road.

Nice wheels, I love the 505s. I bought mine in about the same shape as yours for less than a grand. I tryed the power ball but ended up getting the best results from HOURS of hand polishing.

He can't tell you because that's top-secret, highly confidential information that's above your clearance level.
