Help with Rota G-Force 18x9...

I just recently bought some Rota G-Force 18x9 rims and have been trying to install them but have run into multiple issues. The first issue was simple enough to fix with spacers, the rim was touching the brembos. Now the issue I'm having after getting the spacers on is the tire is rubbing on the wheel well liner and also the very inside part of the stock side skirts that are on the IX SE model. I was wondering if anyone also has had this issue in the past. When I ordered these rims/tires I was told they would fit without any modifications and without spacers. I am running Nexen n3000 245/40/18's on them. Any help would be appreciated.

too much offset. you'll need +30, not +40

what offset did you get them in?

I had a problem with mine...had to shave some off the brake caliper away so they would fit. Kind of a pain in the ***, but works great now!
