What do you mean they don't fit? Center hole too small? Lug pattern? What?

We are visual creatures. Post up any PNs/markings and a pic!

What part of the wheel doesnt fit? The bolt spacing or back spacing. You can get shims that put the wheel out further from the brake caliper, but you have to be careful since the lug nuts wont ramp up the same amount of threads on the stud

You need longer studs for that amount of spacing. Unless you go this route..

I gave $50 bucks for the set. A couple of the beauty rings have dings. I hope I don't have any fitment issues.
