When I had my Forgestar wheels put on, the shop couldn't get the rear center caps on. But they said they could get them on if they shaved off a thread or two of the end of the axle. So that's what they did to make it fit.
At first, the shop called me and told me my car was ready to be picked up. I got there and only the front caps were on and the rears looked like this. What the hell? Car isn't ready if it looks like this. That's when another guy there said he could shave a couple threads to get it to fit.
Sorry for the crappy cell pics..i was waiting till the sun went down to get a better view of the colors. Ok here you go! I still have to adjust my coilovers!
Looks great man. Have you had an alignment recently? Curious if you're running neg camber and how much? If you can run more you'll tuck the tops in nicely.

Better.
so its hitting the back of the threads? It will not push in all the way then?

thanks ! I did the PFADT street alignment i was happy with that car felt good.. but now i went from a 305/30/19 to a 345/30/19..i assume i will need another alignment?

Personally I don't see why you'd need to tinker with alignment after changing the wheels. The only thing that likely changed is the scrub radius and I very much doubt you'd notice that difference. The suspension alignment remains the same.
Well, i was able to take the car for a test drive yesterday..no noises banging everything fit great. The one thing i regret is buying these sport cup2's!. These tires pick up everything on the road..i used blue painters tape on my fenders before i drove it, i hope the c6z06 splash guards will help!
