New to the forums so sorry in advance if I commit any offenses. So here's my dilemma. My father-in-law (auto-mechanic with his own shop) knows I've been looking for some new rims and wheels for my 1995 GT. Originally it came with the premium 17x8 double 3 spokes. Well, he found a set of 4 Rousch 18x10's with some decent tires on them for $200 and was so stoked he just picked them up for me on the spot. Trouble is, they came off of a 2006 and on my 1995 they're rubbing on the rear shocks and the front strut tower. And before anybody starts giving helpful hints, we've already flipped the rear quad shocks and tried adding 1/4" of spacers just to see if that would work. With the 1/4 spacer the rear's would work (just barely) but the front still rubs on the strut tower.
So now he feels like an ass and since I'm one of the lucky few who actually LIKES their father-in-law (hell, he didn't pull the trigger when I ask to marry his daughter, gotta count for something right?) I'm just wondering if there's anybody out there who has been in a similar situation and would have some advice.
Thanks in advance!
