anybody with Kosie K1 wheels, do your front tires stick out

I was looking at my car today, tucked in the corner of my garage.

And I noticed the front wheel sticks out past the fender lip about a quarter inch. And the back one is in from the fender lip about a half inch or so.

Is there different spacing on them or is this just the car.

I got mine from tirerack.com if that matters.

The front track is a little wider in the front.

I had the same problem with some Enkei's I bought a while back.

You need a different offset for the front not to stick out if the back is flush.

Just a thought, might check your camber too... make sure your wheels aren't sitting like \ /

no I just had it aligned.

I dont know the offset of the wheels, I just ordered them on Tirerack.com

Maybe ill get some really small spacers for the rear to balance it out.
