Wheel Problems

Need some advice from you guys.. I bought a set of these 19" wheels from a guy on ebay. When I went to put on the wheels for fitment, the curve on the spoke rubbed a bit on the front calipers. I purchased some HR 7mm spacers and put them on the front wheels. Put on some Sumitomo III 235 35 19 on the fronts and when the wheel and tire were put on the car, the tire rubbed the front and back inside in the tire well when we turned the steering wheel left and right. Any advice what I can do?? Is there a mod to widening the well? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah but even with 8MM with the wrong offset it could still rub. you need to look at the offsets, tire size and wheel width. Don't forget, is the car lowered or on stock suspension?
