Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

Maybe this video will help.

The video helped a lot! I got +25mm. I noticed a sticker on the outside of the rim that says ET+25mm so they are definately not +30mm like I ordered. I was also able to get a better measurement on the hub bore and it is 66.1mm. Exactly what's on the box labels. Already sent a text to him and I'm going to call later today. What a freaking nightmare this has turned into! I should have just bought the Mustang rims and used rings!

You not only expect a premium product but also premium service when you buy a high-end brand straight from the manufacturer. Better said, you deserve it.

When you measure the hub bore, make sure you are measuring to the inside of the bevel on the mounting face. Pulling a wheel off and test fitting a rim is a sure fire way of knowing though. When you measured the offset was it excatly +25mm or just close? You want the rim on a hard flat surface also. I made the mistake of measuring on carpet and it through off the numbers. Don't use a wooden ruler or yardstick either. They are not acurate. Use a quality metal one.

How did you make out on this?

How did you make out on this?

I'm embarrassed to say! I'm such an idiot! Rims are fine. Test fit one on the vehicle and it was fine. I was using 10.5" to figure out the offset and using a ruler because I no longer have a metal straight edge. The rim isn't 10.5" wide, duh. It's actually 11.5" from outside to outside. While at the garage today installing the JBX bushing supports, we test fit the rim and used good, metal straight edges to measure the offset and we got +29 which is probably +30. So, the box labels are wrong, the stickers on the rims are wrong and the stamp on the back of the rims are wrong. The rims are truly +30mm and 70.5mm. I can comfortably move forward and buy some tires. I'm watching the thread on 20" Tires to see what you end up with.

Glad it worked out but damn all those mislabellings is still a little concerning.
