Default TSW Indy 500's No Worky On IS-F!!!

I had TSW Indy 500's 19x9.5 w/40 offset tires 285 nittos on the 350. I just got an F and the tsw rear rims, hit the brakes. Should I use a spacer? I did try an 1/8th inch and still hitting the brakes. Could use a little help, thanks.

where is it hitting on the brakes? maybe a thicker spacer?...or just sell the rims and get new ones for the F!!! better offsets...you should get for the front if it is 19x9 +33-35 offset and for the rear 19x10 +35 offset!!!

Fronts are perfect!! I did a bit measuring looks like a 5mm spacer is going to work in the rear (fingers crossed). I forgot to measure the hub for fitment, I found a spacer that acts as both a 5mm spacer and hub centric ring.

Are these the recomended offsets? Anyone know what type of offset the guys with Volks have?

I wouldn't recommend using spacers on a performance car.

QFT! The stock BBS is much higher quality and looks wayyyy better than those TSWs! Unless you are using them for winter wheels.. but it's not winter.

My thoughts exactly. TSW is a downgrade for sure.
