Wheel Spacers for 20" Axis Pentas dont fit Please help

I have Axis pentas on my coupe. Front 9" width 25mm offset, Rear 10" width 25mm. Tires are BFgoodrich 245/35/20 and 285/30/20.

I bought spacers to push them out as much as possible. I got 20mm for the front and it rubs now. Will a 15mm fit? Also I had the rear fenders cut (they wouldnt roll at the shop) and they cut about half the width off. I have 10mm for the rear ready to put on and now Im worried they are gonna rub too.

What are the biggest spacers I can fit w/o rubbing?

I know you'll be fine with 10mm in the rears if you rolled your fenders.

I don't think anyone will return them after they're installed. I'm already gonna lose money from the 20s.

I'll email them and give it a shot. But I would want to make sure the 15s will fit before I go through all that again. Any one?

its rubbing in the front because your front tires are HUGE. Go to the correct size, 245/30/20 and you shouldn't have a problem

you can still get them rolled. hit up shane. You can get rolled flat as possible like mine and u can stick your 20mm easily if u want to.

you can even roll your fronts. I had those for awhile and i never had any problems even with the 245/35 fronts

im just pissed that I paid like $70 to get them cut and it didnt even make much of a difference. Then thatll end up being a complete waste. I went to fricken wheel warehouse in anahaim, a 45 minute drive with an appointment to roll the fenders and I get there and they say they cant roll g35s. I was so pissed they didnt even want to work on my car cuz I didnt get my wheels there. They wanted to charge me more for a cut than what they told me on the phone for a roll. So end of story they end up cutting and I had to sign a waiver saying that if they damaged my car in anyway they wouldnt cover it. Ends up just being a waste of time and money.

Should have done your homework more on wheel fitment. If you want aggressive fitment, you should either stretch tire, run more negative camber, or modify your fender. You have to educate yourself on what options to pursue instead of just expecting it to fit.

If you're using a 20mm spacer in front that's a 20x9 +5 ... you'll need to pull the fender OR stretch a thinner tire like a 225 or 235.

For your rear you'll have 20x10 +15 which should fit just fine with a roll and slight pull. I'm running 285/30 on a 20x11 +15. Rubs when I drop it low, but that's just the price you pay to play w/ the big boys.

I realize that now. I found a thread recommending 25 or 20mm spacers for these wheels. I decided to go with 20s. obviously that was incorrect information. All i need to is whether or not 15s will fit in front or if i need to go down to 10 all around

why not, use the 10mm in the front and see how they look? test em out, and if ur thinking 15mm. its between the two.look at the spacer difference of hte two. and you can guestimate the distance it wil push the rim out

the rears should be fine, +15 after the spacer.

that pictures with the spacers on the car?
