Cant stand and unhappy with my rims these day

Wuz sup guyz.....I hanve no idea whatsoever when I got these wheels from the guy and I thought it was good deal brand new from boxs....I never thought offset gotta do with it....It rubb even when I got no ppl at the back and when I hit the bump is rubb too. I want to lower so bad with H&R sport spring but I cant. Right now I am looking new rims that will fit and can lower my TL...Heres what I got now ADR DV-8 size 17x7 PCD 5x100/114.3 offset 40 (Black) with Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S 235/45zr/17 tires . I will try to sell these wheels I got now and it nothing or no dent at all just the offset damm!...I am looking to new set of wheels and I come up with 18 inch . So any recomandation what wheels look good in my '00 TL Laguna green color with tires that I can lower with H&R sport and wont be rubbing issue no more?. Im in Toronto area so link me up even other are fine with me. Thankz

all you need is a rim with atleast a +45 or higher. the higher the offset the better. factory is +55

+48 isn't bad. I have a +45 offset with 18x7.7 with 225/45/18 tires and I don't rub, even with people in the car.

check Car Audio and Electronics when it comes out at the end of this month. My 01 Laguna Tl should be in there. H&R SPort kit dropped on 18x7.5 Enkei's with a +45 offset. It's in Mobile Electroniics issue now. CA&E said it should print the end of this month.

do you hate the rims only because you rub?

if so, just trim the bumper tab and see if that does the trick

you can put masking tape on your rear fender and see where it gets black

you can also get your fenders rolled for $70 each at wheel and tire zone
