Sam,

We have run into this issue once before. The center cap sits on a black plastic piece that we hollowed out it give you about 5mm more clearance and works like a charm without having to run a spacer.

On another note thank you for being a customer of Getyourwheels.com and your car looks amazing! I am glad we could assist you with your wheel purchase!

I'm gonna try that out

It truly has been a pleasure Eric, deal went smoother than the lips on those bad boys. I'd love to do business with you guys again in the future but from the looks of it, I'll be holding on to this set for a while

Cheers,

G37Sam,

I love that stance man! Looks awesome! Now I'm considering getting the same offsets. But I'm going with Forgestar F14's 19x9, 19x10. I've been looking for someone with 9's front and 10's rear. I was wondering.....do you rub at all with the 255's in front while turning or anything? As for the rear, you didn't have to make any kind of modifications did you? I'm a newbie to the great "G" scene. And your set up is exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks Vegito

You may have to do a little trimming in the wheel well, but the rubbing isn't major at all

Your welcome man. Ok....so a little trimming may need to be done with the 255's up front? Hmmm...I prefer to not do any modifications like that. Maybe the 245's would suit my possible setup better then. Thanks for the reply. No issues at all though with the rear with the 285's right? BTW...nice angles on the updated pics!

All the trimming I did was done in the past when I had OEMs with spacers and 245/275 tires.

Ah ok. I see. So you think I'd still need to do some minor trimming even with 245's? I know you did with the OEM wheels like you said, but was it completely necessary? I'm just curious, as I'd prefer to not have to trim at all. If I have to trim then heck I'll just go with 255's. :-)

Looks good sam!!!
Also, I had the same issue as you did when I purchased my Vertini Magics. I simply hollowed out the center with a power tool and sanding cone (Sandin cone was more spherical than triangular). Be careful not to sand the forged cap, though.

Sam,

Don't need to get that technical. Take a hand dremel and cut the middle of the plastic part out at the diameter of the grease cap.
