Also, if you have to grind ANYTHING on the inside, the offset's WRONG.

I sincerely hope you don't do any damage before you dump those ALT junkers and get something more appropriate for the car.

The tires were my stock tires from the original stock wheels. I did very MINIMAL grinding just to shave some off the corners, and that I know was safe.. I had a wheel/ brake specialist confirm. I'm not going to name drop but I was told the wheels would fit by a respected SVX gentleman, and that was after a different style wheel he sent me which too did not fit! He sent me these, which he claimed to have test fitted on an SVX to confirm they fit. When I got these the fronts didn't fit so I called him and he sent me spacers, which he claimed would solve the problem. With the minimal grinding they did fit, but big bumps and potholes bring the wheels into my fender liners and have destroyed them. I needed a working car ASAP and CHEAP wheels as I had bent rims, and cheap wheels is what I got! An expensive mistake in the long run, but I plan on doing things right.. as soon as I have done a 5-speed swap or I won't have a running car at all! Anyone have front fender liners in good condition for sale?
