I went to take a look at the wheels this evening. Let me start by saying that the wheels are installed correctly. From what I have seen the pictures accurately show the fitment of the wheels. The front wheels are perfectly flush with some camber. The rear wheels however stick out far beyond the fenders. It appears that there is little to no camber, but the toe is off. It is my opinion that the wheels would require a lot of negative camber and much smaller tires in order to make them fit. I don't think that the OP has in any way misrepresented the fitment problems with these wheels.

I'm not sure the rear would fit mine either, because my widebody is minor compared to sweettalker's... but I'm willing to give it a try

I think you guys are missing the point that the OP does not want to run -4 camber. He expected to roll his fenders and be done with it. I don't doubt that you can manipulate the camber, stretch tires, and modify the fender so it won't rub. However, keep in mind that not everyone wants to do that to their car. If he wanted to do all that he wouldn't have made this thread..some people like the extreme fitment, some people like to be practical.

It's pretty obvious Sweettalker has made it clear he will not be taking them back nor take further action. IMO that's pretty fvcked up, but hey, I'm just another fish in the sea.

thank you very much for the offer and input. i would love to do a straight up trade but your wheels just arent what im looking for. as irritated as i am with these lips, i would still like some wheels with a good size lip. 4in lip in the front is prob not a good way to for me. thanks again and good luck in your sale.

Wether it be on purpose or by mis-information there should be no reason for the buyer to be stuck with something that obviously does not fit as described.
you, me and many other people on this forum feel the same way. it is obvious that SWEETTALKER wants nothing to do with me but to ignore the facts and statements from not only me but other people here who might be his potential customers in the future. still now as i type, i havent received any attempt of contact at all from him. if i could ask SWEETTALKER one question and would have to answer truthfully, i would ask him what would he do in my shoes?
