My son was given a set of rims for his VY which he took to bob Jane tmart to have new tires put on and fitted onto his car. They called him to say the rims are actually from a VE and do not fit his car. They had already put the new tires on and told him to go home and file out the centre of the rims then bring them back. They said there was no way of telling that the rims wouldn’t fit until they actually tried to put them on. Is this correct? I feel like a tire place should have been able to tell this before putting on the tires and doing an alignment. Also advising my teenaged son to modify the rims himself seems unsafe? Just after some general opinions on how this was handled from people with experience please and thank you.
