Default 97 hx rim and tire size

I got some moteki mr7's with 205/50/16 tires and they rub but they only rub on the weights on the inside lip of the rim but it doesn't rub of the rim itself. Its a bare fit even if the weights were removed. Have any idea's do I need spacers?

What is the offset of the wheels?

I think what he is saying is the wheel weights are rubbing.

I had this issue with my fit wheels, +55 offset. Remove the weights and you should be ok.
If you are worried about it, take them in and have them balanced. Ask for stick on wieghts.

Take the weights off, and put the wheels back on. Then drive the car around and see if it fixes the issue.

I am still confused on how +35's rub

Flathead screwdriver.
Put it between the weight and the tire, pry towards the wheel.

It should just pop off.
