HRE 547R offset and my F355

I noticed where some owners put 30 mm spacers on the back of their 355's. I have a 95 F355 spyder that I purchased new HRE 547R's for. They suggested that I review the fit prior to mounting the tires. I did that last night and noticed a considerable difference in offset (approx. 1 1/4 inch or maybe 30 mm). My concern was that looking down from the top I could easily see the outside bead of the rim, with the suspension not compressed because the tire wasn't mounted. Has anyone else who purchased HRE's or HRE 547R noticed the substantial offset difference? Would you consider this normal when you installed a 30 mm spacer?

 

No there are no spacers involved. As noted the difference between the stock wheel offset and the HRE appears to be approx. 1 1/4" minimum. Yes it is on the jack since the tire isn't mounted there really isn't an appropriate place to compress the suspension.

 

Thanks for the reply. I thought I was hallucinating at first since they were so far off. Measuring from the disc rotor to the outside bead on both the original and the HRE showed that the difference to be approx. 1 1/4". I will contact Guy and thanks again.
