Default wheel spacing, good??

I am very interested in these wheels on the net but there is one problem. They are a 38mm offset and my stock wheels are 45mm. Is there any way that I can correct this problem. I saw wheel spacers at pep boys the other day but didn't know if these are the way to go. Any ideas? Please let me know THANKS!!
Did a search, but nothing good really turned up

?! you need to understan offset first.... it goes hands in hands with widths, so if two wheels are different widths then the numbers above are meaningless already. and even if the same width, 38 is already more outboard than 45, meaning adding spacers is going to make it stick out even more...

plus, having 38 doesn't mean it's bad. in fact, i would never care much about stock offsets, i will just go with what's good for the car

if it's for your gs, read my sticky at the top of this forum and learn about the setup for the car.

good luck
