dont they make their own rims? see if they can make them for you with a higher offset.

ba-b4 I have heard of people shaving the back of the rims to change the offset but some rims its not safe to do on. There also wouldnt be enough to shave off the rim to get RTIS250 up to the offsets above.

^ passnu I think the safety of shaving the rims has to do with how thick the mounting section is on the given wheel and maybe what the material is. I was actually talking about shaving the mount on the car itself not the wheel. The safety depends on the how thick it is though. I've only read about how others have done this on forums and don't have any real experience with it myself. I would definitely seek out a good wheel shop for something like this for sure.

Ive gotten so much good advice so far.. Id like to get these wheels, but if the offsets are not right for my car, then ill have to pass on them. I dont want to have to shave the fenders or do anything like that. I just want to slap on a set of decent wheels and tires and call it a day.. so if these wheels wont work with +30 and 235/265 tire combo.. then ill keep lookin! Thanks guys..
