Also, I think a +42 or 40 offset would be better for this combo of width and tire. I'm planning on refinishing the wheels, since several have curb rash, and going with a 225/40/18 or a 235/40/18 street tire when I get back from a TDY in August.
Why would you want a lower offset if
a) you think it's going to rub the fender (from inside or outside? its not clear)
and
b) the tire pokes a bit already

since a lower offset on the same width wheel is only going to stick out more.

From what I have seen, your fitment should actually be spot on, and maybe a small spacer in the back would be perfect.

But you have to provide us with is the shot from the rear since we can't go on whats been posted. Do it wen you get back.

It's likely that you WONT rub if you lower it. Actually it'll probably make them fit better, if anything.

That being said, they look really good on your car. If you don't want em, I'll take em...
