Default wheel fitment NOT aesthetically appealing

greetings,

i recently traded my 90 crx for a 93 del slow. i got to keep my rota slips in the trade as well as my corbeau forza. now, when i slammed my crx my rota slips fit perfectly. with a +40mm offset the edge of the wheel and the fender had almost no gap in between.

i traded my slips for a set of gt3's (same +40mm offset) and lowered my car along with it. now there's like an inch gap between the edge of the wheel and the fender. it's kind of an eye sore to me...

i was thinking extended wheel studs, spacers and some open ended lug nuts would even out this "gap" between the edge of the wheel and the fender. i would go with some wider rims, or a more aggressive offset but i like the way the gt3's look on the car.


anyone have this problem? or know of a good remedy?

thanks
~Tim

GT3 is only available in +40mm, so you're stuck doing the spacers / extended studs business.
