I can't comment on the wheels you mentioned as I don't have any first hand experience with them on my car

As others have mentioned, Rota wheels are very affordable and great quality. If you are interested in any wheels from Rota I would be happy to help you out, send me a PM if you have any questions!

You aint gonna get away with spacers without rollin fenders on a 45 series tire... It happened to me... But I needed new tires so I went with a 40 series and got no rubbing at all

You spent money on wheels that look worse then stock. I always tell people it's better to save and get what you want then to settle and waste money on horrible offset wheels that look tucked and tiny

You should be running 245/275 F/R not 225 and 245, that's just awful for that width wheel.

Maybe he wanted semi-semi-stretch tires? or he thought he had to stay with stock sized tires.

Rims aren't the WORST rims of all IMO..it could just use some spacers. For +15 offset they should tuck in a lot still.

There are 2 things you can do OP. Sell the rims and get something new, or leave this forum. The reason I say this is because the more you stay here the more you'll see other people's wheels and ultimately regret your decision.

You said you like the wheels. Sweet. Leave this place before you hate them.
