Just my opinion but I would use the wheels that were delivered as a template to measure what changes you need made to them and work with Fikse directly. They should be able to help you. If you already returned them then you should get a tool such as the wheel works or Percy tool. I personally have the wheel works tool and it works great.

People can give you advise but the tolerances on these cars aren't tight and they are very old. Who knows what has happened to them.. Hard to say if all wheels will fit the same. Your best bet is to measure, especially when your buying a high end wheel.

Yes thanks, I used some washers on the rear to push the wheel out and check fitment. The rear is only out by 1/2" but the front 6.5 backspace is way too much. Need a 5".
