I Need Some Advice Here!!!
OK... i am really pissed off. I ordered 17X9.5, and 17X11's for the rear for my 95 Camaro. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEBWA%3AIT
I took it to a tire place (CJ tires) to dry fit them so they could get a idea of the tire size to get, and the rear's don't fit!!! what give's! Is anyone else Running this setup?!?! how did you get them to fit? Has anyone else ordered form AFS wheel's? My car chassis and suspension is bone stock, i don't know why these tires won't fit? i don't have a convertable or anything. AHHHH i am so pissed of, someon please give me advice!!!

to fit 17x11s on our cars dont u have to shave the somthing to get them to fit...do a search i know i read somthing about that....i know they wont fit for a fact but how tro get them to fit i forgot..theres a clearance problem..
The problem is when they went to put the 11's on the back, the rim was hitting the back of the wheel well. I didn't have tires on it, they said it is going ot be almost impossible to fit the 11's on the back. Thye say it will rub? is there any way i can get these to fit? i see people runnning 11's all the time?

Then your wheels will stick out past the fender a little
Thats not something everybody likes
I just had to grind down my bumpstops so they didnt rub when the axle is at full droop, no pounding here. Im sure the wheels were rubbing the bumpstops when the shop tried to test fit them.
Jack the car up by the axle and i bet you they go right on.

Honestly you shouldn't be buying 11 inch wide wheels if you aren't prepared to have them sticking out some.But if you prefer pounding on your car with a hammer over having the wheels/tires stick out a lil,i'm fine with that.

you know what i mean .
Sorry,didn't mean to be a dick.But geez putting 11 inch wheels on a car designed for 8 or 9 inch wheels,you are gonna have some problems.I just think the smarter thing to do would be letting em stick out some instead of beating the wells with a hammer.
