conflicting information, HELP?!
Front or rear??
What is conflicting with what?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The rear wheels you quote should fit EXACTLY like the rear wheels of my Berger SS, which are 9.5" wide and 38 mm offset. . . . Car is lowered 1.5" on Eibach Prokit . . . The ONLY issue I run into out back is the passenger side rear tire 275/40ZR17 ever so slightly rubs the wheel well lip on a big dip or bump in the road. An adjustble panhard would fix that perfectly.
A 275/35ZR18 would be a perfect tire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The front . . . should bolt up 100% . . . and would ride in the wheel well almost the same as my front Berger SS wheels. Just moved in 9.7 mm . . .
A 245/40ZR18 would be the perfect tire.
rear would fit beautifully. the fronts would rub pretty badly if i were to mount a tire on there. im not sure how to explain it, except to say the outside edge of the tire would rub in a turn...badly...inside edge would have plenty of room.
Im thinking of switchin to hotchkis springs, to bring the car up slightly, that should fix the issue. the vogtland springs just seem a bit to low, closer to 2 inches then 1
i know it wont fit because i put the rim on the car..you know, checked it out like they recommend... theres not enough room to get a tire on it, trust me. no its not 660 shipped, their still in box except the one which went on and came off. i paid 700 for em, im not taking a hit on shipping too. depending on how quick i can get my hands on a set of hotchkis springs, i might not even be selling them

What does the back space measure out to be?? Lay the wheel face down on a towel/carpet/rug, lay a straight edge across the beads of the wheel and measure the distance from the lug mounting plate to the striaght edge.
Should be around 6.128" . . . if not, then they are not 35 mm offset . . .
Do the 9.5" 38 mm fit up front? Because they should . . . .
Is this where you feel they will rub?
BTW the picture above is a 38 mm offset 18" x 9.5" wide wheel with a 275/35ZR18 tire . . . .

From the info you have posted so far, the wheels should fit, thus why I am asking so many questions.
Would hate for you the unload wheels that will fit, I'll check back later.
The Ruff 278 9.5 rim is a 45mm offset, technically it should fit up front as well but the orientation of the spokes doesn't allow it. It will hit the caliper.
Take a few measurements on the both the fronts and rears and get back to us. Something doesn't seem right?

i know, it doesnt seem right to me either, i know people have fit em, and mine just isnt having it. the cars never been in an accident or anything, so i dunno. Im thinking its the damn vogtland springs, because the car sits lower then the advertised 1.2 inches. its 2 inches or slightly more. i think that might be the issue. i may be going with hotchkis springs in the near future.
