Your winter wheels are wider than your OEM wheels

Relax man, I'm complimenting them (or poking fun at our narrow OEM wheels). No offense intended. :happy0180: |

Did you compare the tread width on the 205/50's to the stock 215/45's? My snows (205/50/17 as well) look much wider than the stock tires, but I haven't actually held them up beside each other.

So this sucks... Been tryin to figure out what I'm going to do for a week or so now.
One of the wheels is a +35 offset and the other 3 look to be altered (machined down) to a 52 offset... Didn't notice it until it was too late. Anyone ever heard of wheels beeing machined down by this much? Any thoughts on what to do to make this set work? Pictures: Machined down (hubcentric ring installed)  Untouched stock offset (missing hubcentric ring)

Looks like an awful lot of material removed, especially for a cast wheel. No real way of knowing if there are cracks or other issues.

Anyone else have some advice or insight? I may just bolt up two of them to the rear until I can figure out what to do.
