what is keeping them from fitting?

well, it seems to me that the inside-outer edge of the wheel is rubbing against one of my suspension arms...

How close is the outside of the tire to the wheel well. If you have room you may try spacers, otherwise your offset might not be deep enough. Should be about 40 mm.

I had the same prob with my rear arms. It rubbed the inside. I just shaved them down a bit and now it's perfectly fine.

if they are 15x7 +45 then they will rub on the rear trailing arm, just trim the arm a bit then you will be fine
