Hi, Just bought a 2008 Corolla LE. The front wheel covers stick out from the steel wheel about 1/4", rear wheel covers are flush. The front wheels are J15x6J -- the rear wheels are J15x6JJ. Any light?

Do the front wheels appear different from the rears? They should be the same specification. I forget what the steel wheels were on my '07 LE...single J or double J. It sounds like two of yours were switched in the past. The edge of the wheel covers should mount exactly flush with the lip of the wheel. To the point where you wouldn't see the wheel weights if it weren't for the clips that wrap around the lip of the wheel (if that made any sense).

Thanks Jason, The wheels look the same...but the covers don't fit properly. I want the dealer to take care of this under warranty?

You can have the dealer check it out. If the wheels were swapped prior to you owning it, I doubt it would be a "warranty" issue, since it wouldn't be a malfunction with the car, but rather a modification that a previous owner made. It's certainly worth a shot!
