Your gonna lose way more money selling them than rolling the fenders. There's no sense in selling them unless you spent cash you shouldn't have. Rolling fenders should be somewhere around the $150.00 mark I believe.

By the way they look really nice on your car. A nice drop would seal the deal.

Those rims looks really nice on your car! What a HUGE upgrade from the 17"s - wow. Don't get rid of them...just get your fenders rolled.

You need to go to an alignment shop and have them dial in some negative camber in the rear so that the wheels will tuck in and get your fenders rolled as well.

Wow, those look much better than I was expecting! Nice work! I liked those when I was rim shopping, but nobody else had them & I'm not a risk taker....wasn't sure how good they'd look.

BTW - I don't get it....isn't that kind of defeating the purpose!? You're going to get replacements & put your stockers back on, but yet you're still going to roll your fenders? If you're going to spend the time to go ahead & get them rolled, why not just KEEP the rims they gave you & avoid the hassle of having to get the rubber re-mounted? JUST CURIOUS MAN!!!!

you might have been able to get less wide tires and have em stretched over the rims whcih with rolled fenders may not rub... but why not exchange from the shop like ur doing

What offset is the shop going to order you can save yourself the hassle and $$ if the offset is higher than what you had previously...

1. The rims I have now were off the show floor and had scratches on them
2. I couldnt roll the fenders with these because they still would rub because they stick out from the car. My tires are soooo jacked up
3. I get new rims NOT from the floor so they will be in perfect condition with the right offset, they will actually be in the wheel well so when I roll the fenders it will be in the wheel well

also I paid $1450 for these rims, I want the right offset

Wow this is somebull ****. They sent back the rims and called TSW and they dont have any more of those for 6-8 weeks. Now I have to look for a new 20x8.5 set of wheels. You guys should help me pick something else. I wanted to stay close to that look, I really liked it. He said I needed to go with a 40mm offset too, so im guessing that will fix the problem for rubbing.......
