Just read this and thought the same thing.

I did not pay attention to that detail, I hope that could be the problem and nothing serious.

Front and rear wheels are different sizes, but the tires are the same size. If you put the rears on the front it can cause problems

11" with a 43 offset on the front would probably cause it....

I believe we have a winner!

......now, let's see how much the dealer charges to "fix" it.

+1

Tires are the same, but rims are different. Gotta pay attention to that. Also, make sure no one rotates them!

I'm willing to bet money you put an 11 inch onto the front.

Little late to game Kodex. But I'm game. What's the spread? I got 5 bucks says drivers side has an 11 on the front.

JCunningham · 03-08-2016, 02:24 AM

see how long it take the dealer to figure it out lol. bet they replace parts befor they do.

Buschman · 03-08-2016, 07:37 AM

You can tell from the pictures. You have a rear tire on the front drivers side, look at the stretch on the side walls on the tires.

JGS · 03-08-2016, 09:29 AM

UPDATE : so, after reading all the responses in this thread, I rushed to the dealership today at 6am, armed with two jack stands and a lug wrench, and while car was in there waiting to be serviced (which they told me they would look at around 7am) I switched the drivers tire to the rear and viceversa. Everything is fixed now. I went back inside the dealer to get my key back and explained what I did and they had no clue that rear rims are wider than fronts, just like me

.

I feel so silly for not knowing and going through all this but oh well, lesson learned. Now I know even 1LE's have same tire size on all 4 cornes, they do not have same size of rim. There was pretty much no damage done except for a small rim rash to the inside of the rim and a slightly scratched shock which of course they cant be seen.

I would like to thank everybody who helped me on this thread to find out my problem and I really appreciate your input.

Don't feel bad for not knowing. I had to actually argue with my dealers svc manager that he could not simply rotate my wheels because of the different sizes.

Pace · 03-08-2016, 09:59 AM

Glad its fixed and thanks for coming back to update us. I see a lot of people that post up an issue and they never post up the eventual solution.

2Carats · 03-08-2016, 10:07 AM

Relieved that it's fixed. Consider yourself very lucky!
