Why no fit?

[RETed]

I'm starting to wonder if there are different suspension dimension out there...

Is this on an S4 or S5 chassis / suspension?
I've been talking to another guy who ordered some 8.0", +25 for fronts, and he sent pics that have the wheels sticking out a good 1/2" - 3/4" too...
I have a set of Panasport G7's that are 8.0", +27 (R32 wheels) that have no problem tucking under the front fenders...does 2mm make that much of a difference!?!?
In fact, I've used these wheels with a 5mm spacer, which effectively makes them +22 on the offset with no problem fitting under the front fenders.

Also, can you confirm the specs match the wheel dimensions?
I've heard of shops trying to pass on "wide" wheels that are not measured per industry spec; some shops are quoting *OUTSIDE* rim edge to rim edge as the "wheel width", which it's supposed to be *INSIDE* - this can add a full 1" of width to the wheel.

Also, can you measure the backspace on this wheels?
Backspacing on the fronts should be closer to 5.0"...maybe 5.5" at the most.
Backspacing on the rears should be closer to 6.0"...might be able to go 6.5" deepest.

This has me all worried, cause then my numbers are all off...
