Default Help! Wheel Catastrophe!!!

I just had my AR Shelby Torq Thrust M's installed. Drove it home, looked at it from behind and noticed the damn Wheels and Tires are Sticking outside the fenders.

I quickly look at the boxes and noticed they ordered the 24 MM offset!!!!!!

I ordered 18x9 and 18x10's. I did not specifically state which offset I wanted because I took for granted the "pro's" knew what the hell was the correct offset for my ride.

That being said, am I correct that they should have ordered:

18x9 34mm offset
18x10 45 mm offset

Are those the correct offsets????

The 24 mm's fit, but look bad in my opinion....

I think they are going to order me the new ones no charge. But they aren't sure what they can do with the 24mm offsets because they already installed them.

What a pain in the f'n ***!!!!!!!

Go back and RAISE HOLY HELL and they will replace them as their mistake. BUT be level headed and make them know/and think it is Their << Fault.

Good luck

It's a solid inch sticking out I bet. I don't even like looking at it and don't plan on taking photos until it is corrected. I'm dealing with Discount Tire and they are being VERY cool about the situation. I posted this in a time of frustration, but they are going to take care of me which is cool.

I'm not sure if they will be able to return the wheels to AR, because they were already installed. I'll find out tomorrow.

I don't like the 24 mm offset because now you have to worry about massive rock chipping due to the tires flinging crap all over the rear bumper cover.
