Not K-car wheels... Those shouldn't be that far out
in terms of fitment. I run 6.5Jx14 wheels (10mm
offset) and they fit fabulous. I could probably
even fit wider wheels in the rears on mine. They
must be real gangley wheels to fit so poorly.
: OK now everybody gets to find out how stupid I really am. I got these 15" BBS wheels in a trade (basket weave style, polished lip with exposed bolts). They were kinda of beat, but there was no cash involved and I figured a little Wurth silver paint....
: So I painted 'em and for some reason before I ordered tires, I decided to do a test fit. Oops!
: The wheel rim sticks out about 1" beyond the rear wheel arch lip. What's going on? On the wheels are these #'s:
: KBA40572
: 7JX15H2ET11
: Do these make sense to anyone?
: What kind of K-car do these fit on?
