Hey marcel, i'm sorry to say but the more i look at the pics of your rims, the more i'm convinced that those wheels are not fit right for your car.

They are sticking out WAAAY too much. Unless you're gonna leave it at that height, those wheels are not gonna clear your fenders, in neither the front or the back. There is no way any shaving or rolling of the fenders will help tuck that much wheel in. You'd have to do some major fender widening operation out back to keep those wheels on with a drop. They are probably riding fine right now because they still have some room to move both vertically and side to side but when you drop the car, the front may be just inside the fender with the wheel straight but will probably rub when you turn it. And the rear will probably literally sit right on top of the tire(or very close to it) causing major rubbing or even stoppage of the wheel from turning.

I think someone already mentioned it but are you sure they didn't give you coupe spec wheels? Those rims look like they would be perfect on a coupe but not on the sedan.

I don't mean to be a killjoy or anything marcel, just thinking that you might've paid for ill-fitting wheels that are gonna cause you some problems later when you find out you can't lower it at all because the wheels will rub and scrape the fender everytime you go over a bump or try to turn your front wheel.

Disregard all of this if you're completely happy with the wheels and the way they are now, which it seems to me you are. You being happy with your ride is the main thing.

Happy driving!

well today i was driving around and i stopped on this like hill thing , when i got out i noticed my left side looked like it was dropped bc the left side was higher on the road bc it was a hill. so anyhow it looked like if it was droppeed but right under the fender . is taht how it would look if i dropped it? bc if so then it looks like it might ust tuck in with a little bit of fender rollin or somesort of minor adjustment

i believe it should clear once the car is lowered, since lowering also adds camber.
if those were on a coupe they would be sunk.

I think you guys are in denial there is no way you can safely dial in enough camber to get the wheel to tuck with a drop. The wheels were purchased from a coupe owner I recall marcel posting that he was going to buy the wheels from a coupe owner and I recall saying that this would be the out come. That's why we have the forums to help each other out before we do something irrational. I suggest selling the wheels to a coupe or 350z owner if you plan to lower your car. If you don't the tire wear will kill the tires and you will lose more money on a potential sell.

IMO, I would not get the tires to tuck by adding camber. As the others have said, 20" tires are not cheap and too much camber will wear out the inside tread. If you lower it, I'd suggest making sure the camber is within spec.

+1. Compensating for a wide wheel sticking out by tucking the wheel into the fender with camber from lowering can be done within reasonable parameters. The amount that is sticking out in the rear is a considerable amount of tire to tuck, even with camber. And as terrycs has said, if majorly compensating for the stick out with huge gobs of camber does somehow tuck into the rear, you will literally be riding on the tires inner edge, which will ultimately lead to excessive and uneven tire wear/changing, undue stress on all suspension components and unsafe and limited contact patch of the tire.

However, if marcel was told that those wheels would fit and is made for the sedan, and marcel is completely confident that they will be able to tuck in the wheel with a drop by whatever method of modification to do so, then that is the main thing.

I can not speak for the shop where the wheels and tires are purchased but if the question was asked about offsets of the wheels we could have chimed in and said +35 offset all the way around on a 10 inch rim would not be a good choice for his car. I am using the +35 as an example because based on the pics it looks to be a +35 in the rear. If he can get the car lowered and not dial in so much negative camber that would lead to excessive tire wear than praise the lord! I just hate to see people get taken advantaged of and have problems later on down the road.

I would not recommend shaving ANYTHING off the mounting pad of your wheels Marcel. Those are 1 pc. cast wheels and any type of modification could and will most likely compromise the structural integrity of the wheels.

If you really like the wheels, try dialing in a bit of negative camber like stated before, but be prepared to go through tires very quickly. As soon as you lower the car 1" to 1.5", the suspension will flex in and the camber will sit -1.75 to -2.5 degrees without you doing anything. That translates to approximately +/- 5mm of clearance. That should help you with clearing the fenders but you'll probably need to remove or shave down the inside lining of the feders to prevent rubbing when you have passengers in the back seats.

Good luck.

dude...get a refund on the wheels and get somethin that fits properly. Tell the shop that you bought it from that the sh*t don't fit right and u want to order a new set of 20" black/chrome lip wheels. Get something with at least a 43 or 45 offset for the rear. Don't ruin your new car by cutting, pulling, and all this negative camber stuff!!! Do it and do it right! Tell the shop to order u new wheels.
