I think im the only person on the planet who never gets his paws on sum good rims. Ive been looking for 4lug low offset rims for 100 billion years yet no luck. Where did you manage to trade your old wheels for those beauties?

P.S love that we are from towns which share names....this is always fun....But not as Fun as my actual Home town LUSAKA having the same zip code as New York<<<now thats fun for the delivery people.

say a wheel that is the same size front and back, with tires the same size front and back.the front of the car is narrower than the back, which leaves less room under the fenders for the wheels. therefore, the wheels stick out more in the front.

am i still missing something?
Alright.Lets get started.Go find a measuring tape.Got it?(assuming you have a 240)Go out side and measure your wheelbase from tire to tire or hub to hub.Then you will no longer be confused.

No pull needed. Camber it. I made 18X10+24 fit in rear, and 18X10+16 (8mm spacers) up front (clearance issues). Nice knock-offs.

I'm with you. There is less space from hub to fender in the front than there is in the back right? So if front and back wheels are same size, the front wheels should stick out more. I'm guessing the OP is rocking spacers or staggered wheels w/o knowing it. He did sound unsure of the offset.

Read, damnit. This was already covered, twice.

and wider in the back that is why the wheels stick out more.

did you have to use spacers or did they clear stock struts?

Everything clears perfectly. 17x9 +15 clears fronts by about 7mm. Rears are clear all over the place.

However, you should definitely have something to lower your car before you get wheels like these. And something for camber adjustment. Unless, it will look like

Mine is the same, the fronts stick out more then the rear. Same setup for me Rota P45R 17x9 all around with 225/45/17 up front and 235/45/17 in the rear. No roll or pull.
