Default Corvette wheels
Anybody know how I can get these wheels to fit within the fenders? They are +40 and I wanted at least +50 or they will stick out. Any help is welcome. I’d really love to make these rims work somehow

There's not much you can do since spacers would only make the poke worse. Wide fenders are the only way to keep the tire from poking. I would find different wheels if you don't like poke.
