Hope the new management does a better job than the last. They really let me down. Had to return my set 3 times before I got a set that was blemish free😩. If you are going to pay that kinda price, you shouldn’t have so much trouble getting a set that is right🙄

Did the tires rub in the front or rear?
How much did you have to trim the inner fender well?

Just the rears. Not much trimming. I just road around the block a few times to let the tires leave a scrub mark on the liner and then just trimmed that part away with a dremel tool.

I am also joining the FM5 club. Purchased a used 15 year old 17" set with ZR-1 offsets last fall but they were in rough shape. Met the seller last fall at Ye Old Wheel Shop and had them check out the rims to confirm running true and if they could work their magic and clean them up. In the end they polished them all and painted the back. Looking 100% better. Got my order in from Costco for new Michelin PS2's 275/40/17 in front and 335/35/17's on the rear. Back tires mounted up no problem and look great but fronts are fighting me all the way. I have C5 brake calibers up front and the Fikse's do not clear the caliber. The small nuts on the inside of the Fikse's are hitting the caliber. They will clear with no issues with stock J55.
Long story short, after consulting with my Wazoo brothers, decided best to do some grinding on the caliber. Got together with my neighbor and Wazoo member Dan yesterday who has a lift and grinder and went at it. After grinding and painting just about there and doubt anybody will notice. Still am going to need a small 0.125" spacer and will have that on order today. Hopefully I can use my stock wheel lugs with the spacer, I think it should be fine. Can't wait to get it all back together with the new rubber. After all is done will see if I can find a new home for my chrome A-molds. They are aftermarket and in decent shape for a daily driver.

Looks great Charlie!
1/8" spacer should be no issue.
