Who has these on their goat ? What size tire are you running ? Whats the ride quality like ?


(I was gonna get AZA Z-1 18x8.5's all around and was concerned with rubbing, then I ordered 17x8 Beyern 5's...found out from the company today there on backorder with no ETA)

I don't believe the 18 inch wheels have started arriving in dealers, I remember reading somewhere they expect those cars in late spring.

BTW, how's the avatar?

I have 19" Beyern's and they rock. The passenger side rear rubs under hard acceleration so I'm going to have to roll it a bit.

when wheels are a bit too big and scrape what do you do? i heard people mention rolling the fenders and you mentioned "roll it" so i figured you meant fenders as well. does this mean they actually cut away the fender to make the wheel well bigger? how much does it cost?

You roll the inner fender lip. It basically gets rolled up and out of the way. You can cut or grind the fender lip if you want, just be sure to paint it.

A heat gun and wood baseball bat are supposed to work well for rolling the fenders. I'm going to use an actual fender roller.
