offset will be on the insode of the wheel. on the back of one of those spokes it will say a number like +25 or +15 any number really. and it will also give the width. the 225 is the tire width. that doesnt really specify wheel width. are your quarters rolled?

yep 9 inch wheel +25 offset. now i can see that having an issue on bumps. you need to roll the quarter panels of your car. that should fix your problem.

it looks like you have the inner fender well plastic still in there. I dont. maybe yours is hanging due to some broken clips.

no its not impossible. are your springs and struts good? they could be weak up front. the rear fenders will need to be rolled for sure. take me some better pics of inside the fender
