Default In Need Of Help Badly With 58mm Offset Please!!

I ordered 18X9.5 wheels with 56mm offset. They sent me 58mm offset. I believe that's what they are cause it says "58" stamped on the inside of the wheel. I put the rim on the car and it is so close to hitting. I'm afraid when I mount the tire on, it will hit. Does anyone know if it will fit? I took pics of it mounted to show how close it is.

I can send pics if anyone can be so kind to view them and tell me what you think. Unless you know for sure they will or wont fit with the tires on.

I did not know they made 58 mm offset 9.5" wide wheels. Where is your concern front or rear???

I don't know what is going on with the pic. Anyway. Yeah, it is stamped "58" on the inside of the rim. Also is says "58" on the box that they came in. The front is my concern. Maybe the back too. I didn't check the back.

They will fit OK, they are only 2 mm off compared to stock and other replacement wheels. The "appearance" my not be ideal since the wheel is going to ride in the wheel well similar to stock . . .

True. It seemed to stick out a tad bit farther than the original wheel. Hard to tell without having a tire on. I don't mind the wheel being inside the wheel well. Then rocks and road crap wont hit the body as much.

You're fine. Yes it looks tight, but all will be good, just use a nice 275/35ZR18.

The guy I bought the wheels from says that the factory setting for the Z06 rims is for 58mm. I never heard of that. I think I will just try and mount a tire when I get them and see what happens.

I did not know they made 58 mm offset 9.5" wide wheels. Where is your concern front or rear???[/QUOTE]
