Oem wheels are 5 or 5.5, 8.25 is just so wide.

just slam it and flare/roll the guards. hehe

on a serious note though, contact the seller, usually u can get ur money back minus shipping. its better than getting nothing back. unless u can sell it on here?

I suggest you do a bit of research next time.
Learning about what you intend to buy may avoid disappointment in future.

LOL yeah when i first went to buy wheels i didnt know a thing but a bit of research here and there as well as other forums should easily bring up:
+38 - +45 offset
6 - 7.5 wheel widths
15 - 17 "

As the safe boundaries :P

Better resell, or actually put those wheels on and roll to autosalon (Y) LOL

LOL. Fail fitment. Do more research next time, it fits your stud pattern and that's obviously what the seller meant.

+0 offset killed you. Take them back if you can - if not, resell them and research the appropriate offset.

Pity they don't fit my BMW as I was looking for a set of 0 offset wheels so that I could ditch the spacers I'm running.

haha nice fitment man, 0 offset is very aggressive tho especially for a jazz, slamm it and run extreme camber should be sweet haha, but nah try and sell them im sure someone will buy them

Looks like they are a nice looking set of wheels, remind me of the old "turbo" ones. What a shame, would o' looked hot at +35 offset, but at 8.25" even that offset might bring the inner rim in to close to the sussy. You've learned something today and you've already got one possible buyer on here interested, so it shouldn't turn out to be an expensive lesson.
