i didn't want to have to mess around with spacers, and adjustable panhard bar, and i don't think a 3lb sledge hammer belongs ANYWHERE near a car, let alone used as a tool to work on one (unless ur a deranged ex g/f), so beating in my wheel well didn't seem like a good idea.
besides, even if i got them to fit (which i prob would have it i wanted to use the options mentioned above) i would be working with tight tolerances...which opens up doors for other issues with tires rubbing (don't want to flair out my wheel well). and i also red a forum on another site about different rim sizes front to back can mess up or ABS (ABS INOP light pops on) and ur ASR as highway speeds (i dont want to be one with a tree b/c my traction control came on at 80 mph). basically i didn't want to open up "Pandoria's Box". i shipped them back for a set of 17x8.5 all the way around and they should be ok.
