Wheel problem
I got a replacement for one of my Zr1s I broke and I noticed it doesnt fit like the other ones. This one sticks in more while the others stick out a little more. I'm going back to Discount Tire in the morning, what can you guys say about this?

What was the offset of the wheel you replaced, compared to the offset of the wheels already on your car? Did you make sure they are the same? That's what determines how deep the wheel sits in the wheel well. The 17x9.5 wheels are available in 56mm and 38mm offset. The 56mm wheel will sit about 3/4" deeper in the wheel well than a 38mm.

Thats the pic compared, you can see how its deeper in the well than the other one.
Theres a pic of it Fred, they got me the one thats 56mm, I took it back today and they said it could either be a problem with offset or this wheel not being wide enough. The place they got the wheel from was closed so I have to go back on Monday.
