Default New custom wheels don't fit my C7 Z07

i just got some custom forgestars made in the following sizes
19x10 +28 for the front
19x12 +49 for the rear

the fronts don't clear the caliper need about 1/8 at the very minimum to clear the caliper in the front and the rears barely clear the caliper so i think putting balancers might cause a problem ,

would you guys run a spacer on the front ???? also what aggressive size or offsets are you guys running??? this wheels where custom painted waited almost two months of em ....

btw those sizes where recommended by the company i order the wheels from

They should take them back and correct the situation if they recommended these wheels.

I would see what the seller advices plus get a tire shop to advice...if seems more then a simple fix sure the heck would want a refund.

I wouldn't put spacers if you had wheels with custom sizing. I'd assume the whole point of ordering custom offsets was to prevent using spacers in the first place (vs mass production spec).

The company you bought them from is likely to recommend spacers. I would stand firm and make them take them back on their dime for shipping because they sold you the wrong sized wheels.

Easy fix. Call up the company who sold them to you and request 4 mailing labels so you can take them to FedEx or UPS and refund your credit card.

Something similar happened to me. I bought a set of rims guaranteed to fit. The offsets were all wrong. After some pushing, they exchanged them for some Crays. They fit perfect.

Unacceptable and I bet you paid a pretty penny too...I would demand a refund and be ready to file a credit card company complaint.

This is why I insist on using Paypal so much easier than dealing with the credit and company.
