Wheel Fitment Troubles

I really need some input from someone. I purchased one set of Enkei RPF1's, had them powder-coated only to find out the vendor sent a +15 offset that stuck out of the wheel wells by at least an inch. So I purchased another set of Work Emotion CR Kai's in 18x9.5 with a +30 offset. They fit perfect on the back, but won't clear the calipers on the front. These were recommended by the vendor as a "perfect" fit. Is there a fix without the wheels sticking out like some hoopty car?

can't you just contact the vendor and ask for an exchange?

For future reference 18 x 9.5 +30: fit rear no additional work / fit front with 10mm spacer

Thanks to Adam & Kwame from Z1

Will 18x9.5 +20 clear the calipers? What about front fenders? My rear fenders are rolled.

Run some spacers up front and you'll be set.
