I just got some TSW kyalimis in hyper black to put my snow tires on....they are 17x8 with an 40 offset and 5x114.3/120 bolt pattern....the rear fit fine but on the front they wont clear the calipers...I guess I will need to get spacers for the front but I dont know what kind, or wherer to get some...

Help would be greatly appreciated

 

No need to panic. Just call or email Neal at Tirerack and order some H&R spacers. You'll be all set. Get some better wheels next time too...TSW=heavy & soft.

 

40mm is the problem. Neil can hook you up though

 

Little late in the season for snow tires, eh?

 

hahahah.....well its a funny story.....I ordered these rims from next level motoring on december 12.....they told me they would be a perfect fit for my evo.....so i get three rims from fedex.....they ***in lost the fourth wheel....so I had to go through all of this **** over the ph0ne and email and long story short I just recieved the fourth about three days ago9.....so I finally get my snow tires mooounted and come to find out they dont fit over the front calipers....now i dont know what the *** to do

 

If they said they would fit without spacers get a full refund ASAP. Lithe is right about TSW being weak. I had some Revos on my old BMW and when I was changing tires they told me all 4 were bent. One wasn't so bad so I kept it as a spare. The old M3 wheels I had on the car were never bent in 3 years. I've also hit some serious potholes in my evo and the stock wheels are still perfect, until a 20 year old girl ran a ligh t-boned me and left my car in the shop for the last month.

 

Sorry guys, we don't sell spacers for wheels we don't sell or fitments that aren't recommended. If you want to go that route call H&R. They have top shelf spacers and I'm sure they could help you. However, if I paid for a wheel that a company said would fit and now doesn't, I would want them to correct it rather than forcing it to work. Remember, when you use a spacer that's not designed for the wheel you reduce the amount of turns the lugs need to tighten the wheel down.

I would return to them for an answer. Wheels aren't something you want to wing it with.

 

so I guess Im ***ed.....I cant return them because I already mounted the tires on them...and I dont know **** about spacers or anything of that sort....they did however tell me that these would fit on my car but are saying no returns once tires are mounted..... ....any experts out there able to give me specs on some spacers, or whether that is even an option for me????
