Using some different struts, you'll find the tire offset required does differ.

But probably not by the amount you are talking about.

15-20mm ET is the maximum that will fit under a 1200 without flares etc. It sounds like yours are 35ET or maybe 42ET.
ET acronym means "pushed in" in german.
Can you measure yours?? and let us know.

Measure the width and then measure from the back of the rim to the mounting face on the wheel..I'll do the simple maths and tell you what you have. That will give us the numbers to suggest a possible strut solution.

It might be that you do have the wrong wheels and will need to get new ones.

All the best.
Chris

ps. I'm having the same trouble with getting wheels and tires for my car. I'll probably end up with Simmons, because they can manufacture exactly what you need, it takes 6 weeks though.

Your sorta on the right track, as I more talking the tyre hitting the strut, not the tyre sticking out is the problem, I'm using flares to fix that prob, it's a prob with the offset I know ny fault but I wanna try to fix it.
Cheers

it is okay if the wheels stick out (not too much) as long as they arent sticking outside the body cause the cops will get for that so if they stick out a bit just roll (lip) the gaurds out, so the wheels dont stick out side the body.

i had this problem when i got my 14/185/60s on my car

Can you get longer than standard wheel studs, as I am wanting to fit wheels that i need to bring out a little and I'm not too sure about putting on spacers as the spacer would be huge.

Also I don't think there would be enough thread left on the wheel stud. Has anyone got any ideas on how to help.

Cheers
Damo

PS I am only after help, please don't add any sarcastic responses. Thanks
