i forgot what it's called but i think some wheels can be "resurfaced" on the back part of wheel where bolts protrude. please correct me if im wrong...
Yes, you are correct, he could have the mounting pad machined down to the correct offset. Returning the wheels to whoever sold him the wrong offset, however, would be much easier.

Fender rolling is an option also. I screwed up and purchashed a set of 20's with an offset of 15mm. They are not mouted yet as my car is garaged waiting for daddy to return in Aug from Korea . I will opt to have the fenders rolled to deal with the rubbing issue if it occurs. I never heard of the resurfacing option, but being it has mentioned, I will consider that as well. Good Luck!

Here are some pics of the wheel and tire maybe this can help explain and get a better idea of what I am talking about, plus how the new wheels look in the car. Thanks everyone

Time to look into rolling the rear fenders....the lip on the inside can be rolled flat, which should give you some more room. It might be all you need. From the pics, they are definitely sticking out too far...from what I can tell....but not too far that the rolling might not help.
