Default Will this wheel size fit the R?

Looking into buying some volk re30, the 16x7 +33 offset is in stock but if i want 16x7 +40-+45 offset the wheels are not in stock so il will have to wait 3 months and pay an extra $300. Wondering if the 16x7 +33 offset will fit on the ITR while still being pretty low with no issues?

Probably not on the rear. Would fit the fronts if you run heavy camber.

im running +35 all around w/ 215/45/16 azenis.

the rear fender well scraped off a few millimeters of tire. you would never notice. My rear camber is -1.5 with stock upper control arm.
if you dont have a whole lot of negative camber, you would have to notch out the rears.

I dont really want to touch anything else,just mount on the wheels and tires and drive it,so if i have to modify anything i wont buy them.

It depends on how low you are, how stiff your suspension is, the tires you choose, and your camber. 215/45 16 Azenis will rub but a 205/45 16 tire should not rub too much if at all (depends on the tire since not all 205s are the same width.

16x7 +32 with 205/45 16

thanks for the feedback...idk its a lot of money to drop, only to possibly find out later that it doesnt fit...like stated earlier i dont really want to roll fenders or any other aftermarket parts...just wheels to hub with tires that fit. I got omni power coilovers.

If you want something that you can just throw on and not worry about then I wouldn't get them. You are either going to limit your tire size, limit how low you are, adjust the camber or roll your fenders. It sounds like you would be better off running a +45 offset.

205/40 16s are way too small. For what you are looking for, it sounds like you will be better off with a +42 offset, but like you said it will cost more.

they will fit. you will have to roll the fenders to prevent from rubbing but they will fit fine.

HSPxNick's ITR has 205/45 BF Goodrich G-Force Sports. I have the same tires on my 16x7 +32 GABs and they do not rub. I have 205/45 Yokahama ES100 on my 16x7 +33 Volks and they do rub in the rear during harder cornering and every once in a while on the freeway. This is my experience with the set up you are interested in.

They will fit. Depending on the tires you choose and your ride height/camber, they may rub if you do not roll the rear fenders and may rub the the front fender when you make a u-turn.

There are too many variable for me to tell you that you can put them on and have no rubbing issues. Will they rub a lot...probably not if you use 205/45 16s. If you plan on using 215/45 16s, you will most likely need to at least roll the rear fender unless you run a lot of negative camber.
