I may need some 5mm spacers if I ever want a big brake kit but I've driven it every day like this and nothing rubs. As you can see, it's almost totally flush. Once I lower it a bit, it'll sit just about perfect for me. Only thing I've done is sand and tint the center caps. They are a plasticky chrome that I didn't like. I wish I could use my stock center caps but they don't fit.

Sorry to hear you are having issues. I bought wheels from AM last year to drag with and some others for daily driving this year. No issues here. Hope you get them all figured out sooner than later.

Quick update:

I went to a private shop and they did clear all current wheels and found that there were two out of round tire. Alex from AM is already taking care of it.

To be clear I witnessed the bent rims myself, so as to the previous vibration I know the bent wheels did contribute to that. The current vibration though, appears to be tires. This should clear up the issue, once and for all. Just bad luck on my part I suppose. AM has been nothing but professional and accomodating so far.
