I ordered a set if fr500 wheels from American Muscle, I assumed the fronts were 24mm offset like everywhere else, well they are 30mm and I'm not sure if this will work on a fox with sn95 front brakes, the wheels are 18x9, could I run them it should I send them back and order 24mm from someone else

Put a 1/4" spacer or they will rub like crazy at full lock. Even with spacers they'll still rub a little, mine do with a 24mm offset

i would use 24mm offset. was it their fault on shipping or your fault on ordering the wrong offset?

My fault, I thought all replica wheels were 24mm for the front, it just so happened that the wheels were mis match in the back so they are paying for shipping back.
