Why did you not return the wheels for a full refund or for the supplier to ship you the 17-inch wheels that you need?

Replacing stock wheels on any car can be tricky. Hub size, offset, and bolt/lug pattern are just some of the variables. Perhaps the vendor neglected to add “with modifications” to their description of “guaranteed to fit your ______”…
