Did no one inspect/measure the wheels before mounting?

Yeah, I didn't do that. I was told they would fit so I took the guy at his word. That's on me.

Hey are you the guy that fixed it by pulling the rear quarter panels out farther? I have some grooves in my tires from contacting the rear quarter. I'm trying to figure out how to resolve it before it cracks the rear quarter panels.

I hope after 3 years, a solution has been ascertained and implemented.
