yup. if you want to make them fit, get more negative camber, roll the fenders and call it a day, oh and lower the car more

the higher the offset the more "IN" the wheel is, the lower the more it pokes. you can always stretch the tires a little bit and that will give you clearance

ok yea i didnt know what the whole offset deal was when i ordered them so im prob guna just order some with +40mm offset so i can lower my car back down to where i had it with the hammers. its too high with these bc i had to raise the coilovers to clear. it had plenty off neg camber with my hammers
