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.

 

thanks everyone i am looking at the wheel and it does not seem to stick out i dont kknow why but to me it does not. I will take it back to the place for some answers. Like i said i am a little slow where can i get spacers and what do they do? ill post pictures today showing the problem maybe you can pin point the problem

 

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.

 

I little rolling should do the trick
