clearance issues with mrr GT5
hopefully any members with mrr GT5 wheels can chime in or any input will help. recently bought these set of wheels and the tire shop said the fronts would not clear the S brakes and i would need to run a 10mm minimum spacer but before i try to put em on myself tommorow i wanna know if anyone else is running these and if they clear the S brakes.
here are the specs on the front rims and tires
20x 8.5 +25 offset tires- 245/35/20 and im dropped on eibachs if that makes a difference.
with a 10mm spacer id be running +15 offset in the front which seems it would be too aggresive.

You don't need spacers with any of the MRR wheel series, their offsets are naturally aggressive for the 37, and it will stick out a tad bit. My buddy has the MRR GT-1s with the same offsets as the GT-5 and it fits fine.
Only thing is you might rub with the Eibachs since the offsets are aggressive.

what you should do is return them to mrr or who you bought them from. they should be able to give you an exchange since they don't fit. look inside your wheel and see if there's an offset stamp in there. someone F'ed up somewhere. i know for sure mrr will exchange them for you. they warrantied a small chip when i first bought mines. sent me a brand new wheel under they're cost.

i bought them from a forum member who is a great guy and luckily is willing to give me a refund but the shop i went to said they swapped the tpms before trying to put on the rims the stockies i have on the car should have no tpms but there is no light at all so now im confused about that also

mine was like that also. the tpms light didn't show up until the next day. i kinda have a feeling that these tpms don't work 100% accurate. anyway, i think you should get a refund. hey,weren't you one of the guys that was interested in my wheels also? LOL
