It looks like Im going to have to trim mine. i barrrrley had to trim off the driver side only on the inside, it was less than a cm by say 5 inches long, its designed on an angle for the side mount in japan so one side is fine, the other is a little tight, its a 30 seccond job. ---

You should get some Work Wheels for your car. The wait time on wheels from Japan in custom sizes is more like 3-4 months and it doesn’t really feel that long. ---
