Asanti black label wheels abl-12 dont fit....now what?

[LVFX50]

So I finally found a set of wheels that liked on wheelmax. Asanti black label wheels abl-12 22x10.5 35 offset.
I ordered them and I get a call a few days later. They said these wheels might rub the front brake caliper due to the concave design. Wheelmax ended up shipping one wheel so I can test fit it and today the wheel came in and sure enough, it rubs the front brake caliper by centimeters. I really like these wheels and I want to make it work. Would spacers be an option or should I just send the wheel back and keep looking? If I can use spacers, I plan on going with some 40/285's.

I'm in the same boat as you. I also have a set of Asanti ABL-13 that is the exact spec as yours. Spacer can clear the caliper, but the wheel will stick out pass the fender. If the wheel comes in lower offset, a 10 mm spacer might work.

Just looked it up, they only comes in 35 or 25 offset.

How bad will it look if it sticks past the fender? I ordered 10mm spacers with extenders.

I personally not into that look. You may want to see how much thread engagement with 10 mm spacer. You may need to replace with longer studs to be safe.

I ordered these: FIC Hubcentric Wheel Spacers Pair 10mm 5x114.3 12x1.25mm
Part Number: WP5110-66N -

Nice that they comes with stud. I always go with H&R and they don't comes with studs that are mounted onto the spacer.

Even if it pokes out some, do you think I should worry about rubbing? It's not lowered or anything I think I'm gonna run 285/40

 

[la_fx35]

You not gonna rub if you're not lower.

Did you try the wheel on the rear? I didn't yet but I'm assuming they clear the smaller calipers. I only ordered 1 pair of the spacers. I guess I'm gonna have to order another pair so everything will be at least even.

No problem with the rear. Interested to see the quality of the spacers. Post up some close up pictures of them when you receive them.

Never ran a setup like this but I really like these wheels. My g37 is sitting pretty flush. I'll post pics of the final product.

 

[LVFX50]

Absolutely I will when I get them

Well I ended up using the 10mm spacers and I had the wheels on for about 2 weeks now here are some pics I took the other day.

It looks like the front stick out pass the fender? The rear looks good.

Yup
