[QUOTE="mcglsr2, post: 1336692, member: 15705"] No worries dude. Assuming your friend's Cobra has 9" wheels up front, then yours, compared to his, are tucked in only 2mm (a little over 1/16th of an inch) more than his. This is not a lot. I don't consider this offset to be "way off" - tight perhaps. Maybe tight enough for rubbing. But I honestly was expecting you to have an offset like +18mm or less. So I think something else may be going on. Pics of steering locked where rubbing was occurring will help I think. Point out the contact areas (or what were the contact areas before the tire change) if possible. Compared to my setup with the 255, 9" wheel and +22mm offset, you are 4mm (about 3/32") closer in. Don't sweat it too much, you can always get different front wheels, and if the tires have good tread on them (which they should because they are new) you can probably sell them if you decide not to keep them. Or rock them until they are bald. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't so bad. I don't think you wasted all that much money, a some certainly, but not a lot. You should be able to recoup a good portion of it if you decide to go another direction. [/QUOTE]
