I have +40 offset wheels. Someone told me that offset isn't good with our cars. I forgot about that when my tires had arrived. took the car to pep boys, and then I got the word that there was maybe a finger of room between the strut and the tire, so he couldn't install them. when i was told about the offset not being too good for our cars, i was also told 15mm spacers should do the trick though. Those 15mm spacers are what will give enough space between the tire and strut?

there's a millimeter or two of space between my tire and springmount. (55's on a 16 like a dumbass). It's possible... just take the wheels and tires themselves to get them mounted, and put them on your car yourself.

yeah the people at pepeboys are dumb.
That should fit no problems I only have about one of my skinny ass fingers between my coilover and tire. Take the wheels separately in the back of a truck or something and have the tires mounted then put em on your car
done and done
