    In recent correspondence with the Tire Rack, they asked me if I knew anyone in the South Bend, Indiana area who could bring their Clarity into them for a short time so they could get wheel fitment measurements. If anyone on here is in that area and can do that, send me a PM and I'll connect you with the person at the Tire Rack.
     
  5. It's the travel up in the wheel well and that tire sidewall. I wouldn't go that far on the offset.

    Based on suspension layout, typically as the wheel goes into the wheel well, the wheel angles inward not totally linear.

  8. I don't think it's as much when both go down. That's still really tight, especially with a shallower offset than that. I wouldn't be comfortable with it. But it doesn't appear there's alot of the cool wheels in out offsets.

  10. I honestly thought about taking it somewhere who could open the wheel well. Absolute worst part of the car IMHO

    Has
    new Clarity owner here! Love this car and looking into wheels and ended up here. Has anyone bought aftermarket wheels yet that can share any pics, battery stats after the change, etc? Any update to this thread sure would help any new owners like myself and we would be very grateful of course.
