Also, as I looked at my rims this morning, I noticed the two rims they put on the front of my car, wore down a little where the caliper was rubbing, as if they had spun it around a couple hundred times trying to wear it out.
I was thinking now, that may cause some problems? It is very minimal, but I'd still like to double check. Also, longer studs will make it so the center cap doesn't fit. Is it possible to shave the caliper down slightly?
I e-mailed the guy and since the tires were mounted there is no returns, and I talked to the place that put tires on, and they're now denying any problems done to the rim. It's starting to sound like I'm just screwed, and I'm stuck with a set of rims that will never fit, or if they do fit, will be extremely unbalanced.
Someone help me out here, I'm beggin ya.

whats the offset of the rims? i know you said your center cap isnt fitting because of the lugs. are you getting 12x1.5 lugs?
it's a +38 offset.
Again, the rears are perfect, couldn't fit better, front won't work. Rubs the caliper without the spacer, with the spacer the lugs won't fit, and with longer studs, the center cap won't fit.
I honestly don't know what size lugs are on there right nw, since I had 5 different sets. I'll check and get back to you on that.
This has not been worth it....
Now, that's with it set on there no spacer. But it's rubbing (im not driving it like that) but again, if I put the spacer on, none of the lugs I've had will fit.

The spacer goes between the wheel and the hub. So with the longer lugs AND the spacer, the center cap will fit just fine.
You have lugs that fit behind the center caps now. Get lugs that longer by exactly the width of the spacer you're going to use.
