Default Running into a slight problem with front offset

Long story short, had my wheels mounted, rear wheels sit flush with the fender and still within the wheel well, but the front is slightly more aggressive being outside the fender lines.

so i am wondering if it is possible to fix this? They are all at +15 offset on a GS4 and that was the recommended offset for the wheels to be flush with the fenders.

i seriously dont want to use spacers on the rear.


and another question, would there be any problems running spring on the front alone? the front is significantly higher than before now

you need to lower your car quite a bit, and possibly camber arms in the front to gain the extra negative camber.

What are the sizes and offsets for all 4 wheels?

+1 with camber being a solution, you went really aggressive with the wheels in that offset in the front so thus you have to compensate for it

19 x 9 +15 fronts
19.10.5 +15 rears

yeah i wanted it to be aggressive but i didnt think it would be that aggressive.
it is not too bad, its about 1-2 mm outside of the fender liners.

you'll need to lower your car at least an inch to get the camber a smidge more negative.
