I had a feeling that may have been the case, Oh well no big deal you can always sell the spacers or at least one pair of them.. Here is a picture of mine with out the spacers you can see the difference on how far they stick out.. Cya Slick

HEY MAN they were going to balance them, put the wheels in the tire, put in new valve stems and lugs, and slap them on for $20!!!! It was worth a shot. Actually they did 90% of that stuff so it WAS worth it. I don't usually do the walmart thing but the big tire places only put on tires you buy from them.
I completely forgot about aftermarket wheel stores, they hooked me up.

Just giving you a hard time man, can't really blame you for $20. I'm just too distrustful of wally world to let them anywhere near my baby.

Oh I get it now Slick, I was confused because your angle makes yours seem to stick out a little too. Eric here is my problem, only the back rubs, I am clear in the front of the fender.

Here is at 30% turn

So I cut off the black plastic after taking off the silver fender thingies that were in the way...

I can turn all the way now with no issue, it's just kinda ugly with the missing fender flare piece, I will deal with it later I guess...
