ok guys so i bought a set of rims the other day, they are pretty scuffed up but im planning on restoring then painting them, they arent that great but, nicer then stock anyway,
i was wondering if 205/45 R16 is gonna cause rubbing on the front?
my car is still at stock height also
i know the back wont but i was just wondering about the front cause that seems pretty big.
thanks

Itll fit. Offset is your issue. You need a +38 to +42 offset ideally to not have any rubbing. My +35 offset 15x7's rub. The front is not the issue, its the rear lip on the 1/4.

is there anyway to figure out the offset by looking at the rim?
or how do u measure it?

you should do the following. get the new tires balanced, mounted and a new alignment at a reputable shop, to avoid ruining sterring components by incorrect installation and incorrect balancing.

There should be a sticker on the inner lip of the wheel, or it might be stamped somewhere on one of the spokes.
