and tires on yesterday and they seem to rub a little bit when I go over bigger bumps and what not. I am sure they will rub even more when I put people in the back seat.

I have TSW Mondellos 20/8.5. Has anyone had this problem and what can I do or have the tire shop do to stop the rubbing...can this simply be fixed by folding up the little lip of the wheel well??

 

tell us the offset and tire size...

 

is 245/35/20 and he said it was a 20 offset? Not really sure what the offset means..let me know

 

if the offset is 20 then you, my friend, are screwed. You need a +35-45 for those to fit with that size tire. Take your car back to the shop and tell the dousche bags at whatever shop it was to order the right wheels.

post up a picture if you can as well.

Does that mean I might have to get a different wheel or should I be ok in that department? This is the only wheel I want right now so I hope I don't have to change that up...

 

you can get the same wheels, you just need them in a higher offset. That wheel should be made in a 20x8.5 +38 last time i checked.

+1million...

 

Ok good...and that should solve my rubbing problems???

 

I will post some pics sometime today....looks great. IMO

 

^^yes that will solve every problem...tell the shop to hire some knowledgeable people like Grant...lol

 

Thanks for the help guys..I was having buyers remorse last night and literally lost sleep about this!

 

rofl! I'll never work at another dedicated tire shop again after Discount Tire, those guys are retards.

Ha ha thats exactly where I went is Discount....

 

I figured as much. But it doesnt really matter.. all those chain tire shops like Discount, Evans, Midas, Firestone, Goodyear, etc, etc.. they know nothing when it comes to choosing the right size/offset for the wheels and tires on your car. They just type the vehicle information into the computer and the computer tells them what to sell (so obviously the people doing the computer programming are just as clueless)

If you get anything from Discount you need to make sure and deal with their wheel guy. Seems like most shops have at least one guy who knows what he's doing when it comes to aftermarket wheels. I have a few friends who work for discount and they know more about wheels than I do! One of them has sold me my last 10 sets of wheels; 6 of those were before I knew anything about offsets, etc.
