So I took a chance and bought 4 18x10 roush rims for my car. I found a deal I couldn't pass up seeing that they are normally 370 a piece just for the rim. Well I got them and the inside tire/rim on the front is touching the strut. Even while the tires are straight. Now before I decide to put 2 up for trade is there anything I can do to fix this problem. Right now they are not sticking out pass the fender and I would like to keep it that way, don't want no 4x4 look haha. I was thinking a 1/4 spacer might work but they still might rub when I turn the weel. Help please

Yeah I knew they were gonna be huge. They don't look bad as of now. If someone wanted to trade for 18x9s id be happy but I would rather just try to make them work first

Yea like Ryan said 10's are going to be huge. Unless you rock a spacer there isn't much else you can do really with out effecting ride or suspension geometry. I didnt hear you say you did but, do you have coil overs or tubular a arms?

I have coilovers. I'm thinkibg 5/16 spacer would work I don't want them to stick out up front. Right now its pretty flush and looks good

They are 275/40s. When I put it on the rim is what actually touches the strut. I got 5/16" spacers on them now and the drivers side is cleared but the passengers side still doesn't for some reason. if I can't find anyone to trade for 18x9s I'm going to try to find someone to cut them down into 9s but I have no idea who would do that in the va beach area. So if anyone knows of a shop in va beach area let me know.
