Default CCWs 18x12 problems with PICS INSIDE!!!

I got a race setup with a 12 inch rear and 11 inch front CCW classics

I slapped on the backs on with 335/30 Michelins PS and the wheels stick out almost 1 and 1/2. No rubbing or anything but it makes me SICK

IS THIS NORMAL??????

You got the kit that doesn't require mini-tubbing, so of course they're gonna stick out. You can't stuff 18x12s in the wheelwell without either rubbing or sticking out of the well.

The fronts are probably going to be worse. 18x11 in front is crazy.

It is a 'race' setup afterall. Why didn't you get the street setup instead if you're not actually racing? 18x10.5-11.5 and 18x10 up front.
