IMHO he said they are from a coupe. Then he said rolling the fenders was recommended but not necessary.

On top of that, someone asked him about a coupe fitment pretty directly.

Dude flat out said they were from a coupe.

Not sure what us a readers were supposed to take from the comments except for it should fit a coupe w/ or w/o rolling the fenders. (and I'd assume w/o it looking like a lowrider)

I mean really. Who was he supposed to be marketing these wheels to if clearly wasn't going to fit a sedan and apparently doesn't fit a coupe very well either?

^This is what sweettalker posted in his FS thread:

"20x8.5 in the front and 20x10 in the rear. Came off of a coupe. Iforged does not release offsets."

Do not modify the wheels in any way if you wish to reach a resolution. That's like buying a spruce tree, finding out the person really sold you a maple tree, and chopping down the tree instead of having them remove the tree and being able to resell the maple tree. You'd essentially be damaging his property and he would be able to file a counterclaim against you for doing so when you win your case.
ok, thanks for the help man. i need it!

I would guess that these have negative offsets. look how fat the lips looked compared to a regular aero setup on a coupe. it's only 8.5 x 10 also.

ya i knew that. but i dont have a sedan. he was asked if they will fit on a coupe and if so what needed to be done, all he said was to roll the fenders.

i feel its my fault for trusting in what he said and knowing he was giving offsets. ive learned the lesson, and that is to not trust peoples word. obviously his clientele was g35c owners, right? not sedans, not sedans with widebody, not coupes with wide bodies. claiming they will fit on our cars to me is misrepresentation. for example:

i have a pair of shoes and im trying to sell them. i post that i dont have the exact size number but i can tell you i have big feet and the guy i bought them from had a size 12 shoe. when you get the shoes they are as described except they dont fit your size 12 foot. they are more like size 15.

might be a bad example but its all i thought of,

did you lower your car to the ground after you put the wheels on?

cause when my car is up the wheels stick out over an inch too!
