a quick one from me too...raining like hell here, so I couldn't roll the car out. Just got the center caps and lugs back from the paint shop today, and wheels mounted up...huge PITA to match that mat epoxy metallic grey centers.
Anyway, whole lotta rim bead showing on the rears...MUCH more pronounced than the other TTS wheelset I have. Same wheel width on both -11", same brand and width tire...295.
Front fittment looks good, rears are tight...just the opposite of what I thought would be the case.
Outdoor pics to come, as soon as the weather cooperates.

the Tramonts are 11" wide, et 38, no spacers, and the same Hankook 295's.
Now, the car has been on the lift, wheels off for almost three months, so I expect it to still settle some. That being said, I think I'll throw it back up in the air, and remount a rear TTS wheel, and set it back on the ground again.
I had hoped to roll it outside for some quick pics, but before I got all the wheels on...it started raining...that was 6 hours ago, and it hasn't stopped yet. Still gotta get the final detail done on the outside before Hershey. Interior is done, Hardbacks were professionally restored...look damn near new. Now...if I can just retrain my feeble old gimpy *** on how to more eloquently enter the car, they might stay looking this good for longer.

Looks tight Joe.... Good luck!
If there is sufficient metal between the lug hole / brake mating surface, you may be able to have a capable shop machine away a few mm's to help...
