Default 45+offset & 205-50-15r tires on a civic????

i searched and cant find anything related. I got a set of kosei wheel 15x7 with a 45+offset for a good price. now i went to test fit and the are like 1/2 in or maybe even closer to the front forks( i think thats the name ) im thinking that if i use tires that are 205 i might rub there. also should i be trippin about it being so close as is ????possible grinding????maybe some wheel spacers should solve this issue or just sell the wheels>? thanks i hope to get some responses.

For a 7 inch wide rim people usally go for +40, +41 or +42. I would get some extended wheel studs and a 5mm spacer.

What are the wheels coming off of? miata?

well the rims were off a 96 civic ex. they currently got 195-50-15r tires but i want to throw on some azenis i got. how much should i look into spending for the extended lugs, spacer and all that to make them work??can i get a smaller spacer for now jsut for the 195 series tires and use stock lugs, or should i be fine till i get the wider tires?

Well sence they are coming off of a honda you know they fit. I would install them and see how much clearance you have. then go from there if you want to upgrade to a wider tire.

extended studs/spacer kit run about $60 for a pair. You may need open ended lug nuts too wich is more $$

They will fit, between me and my friends we've owned several wheel/tire setups with those exact numbers.
