Default AR Rebels..just curious

Those of you that are running with these, did you have any problems with stores not wanting to sell them to you. Due to that they say they will not fit.
I was checking at local stores to see if I could get out of shipping cost of ordering online and all stores said they would not fit. Then went on to say since I was told they would not fit that a return would not be possible

The sizes are 18 x 9 w/ 25mm offset for the front and
18 x 10 with 41mm offset for the rear.

(I know that the according from the numbers that the fronts should stick out more but it looks like they do not, unless everyone is running a lot of negative camber giving a different appearance.)

By the way mare car is not lowered

I will be ordering from Tomz in the next couple of days anyway. Like in the title just curious.

Yes, my 2000 SS required hubrings. Discount Tire here in Las Vegas where I bought the AR Rebels supplied them free of charge. No vibration since. Later

Discount Tire is one of the places that I went to and they said they would not fit. When I told him that there are people that are running without problems he said they must be using spacers. I about laughed, but didn't, and instead I ask wouldn't that cause them to stick out further, and he said no! At this point I decided that this guy does not know exactly what he is talking about and just asked for the price anyway. They said $950 + tax + shipping. Looks like I will be going through tomzwheels(less expensive anyway). I will probably buy the tires at discount though just in case there any problems with balancing etc.
