Default New Wheels

Help! I am desperate! I just bought new wheels and they hit the caliper and wont fit! I am convinced that there is something wrong with the configuration of my 03 H3. I have read with great interest, the many posts pertaining to wheels already, and am not seeing anyone who has had this problem.

16x8...not sure on the off-set, but they are meant to fit without spacers. Got 'em from one of the Hummer on-line stores (Teak a Toys). They seem convinced that the size is correct. I have 5/16 spacers now, and it's not enough.

A 0 offset should work, they just stick out a bit. Factory is +35 i believe.

Every wheel is different so it's hard to say what or why. Just return them to teaka and find different ones. You could use adapters, but a 0 offset plus adapters is just too much offset for me.

Thanks for the input..I absolutely agree with the fact that too much offset is just wrong. I just hope they will take them back!
