Help with spacers
I have 20"X10" Forgeline wheels with Michelin PSS 295x35 ZR20 on all 4 wheels of my 2012 Camaro SS. Turns out, the front tires are rubbing slightly against the struts. Rears are fine. Someone suggested spacers would solve the problem, but I don't know anything about spacers or where to order them. Would that be a good solution? Thank you.

I just ran into this and any spacers will do i'd get the eibach ones higher quality you can find them from their homepage or through any vendor like summit etc. It's gonna run you another $140 roughly with shipping.

http://www.motorsport-tech.com/wheel_spacers.html First determine how many mm of clearance you'll need then, then subtract that from the stud length to make sure you have at least 21mm of stud left to fully tighten lug 6/7 turns ( our std length is 28mm, our stud size is 14mm x 1.50, industry std calc for required lug tightning length for 14mm x1.5 = 21mm. I was able to get around 9 turns of the lug with a 3mm spacer I used, 100% of the torque is achieved at the 6 turn, the extra turns don't add anymore tighting/torquing) If you don't have a least 21mm of stud length with a spacer you'll either have to add longer studs or go with an adaptor instead of spacers.

I hate to say this OP....
But knowing how much dough you put out for your Forgelines....alot.... I would send them back to have the offset corrected so they fit properly. Who ever you bought them from gave the wrong offsets for the order.That size front should fit perfectly and has been done before. Depending on what style Forgeline you have ,it may be necessary to run different offsets front and rear even though a common width is shared. Of course that would mean no rotation capabilities...no biggy for most Defiantly would not run spacers on the front
