will it rub?? help please

will a 16x8 +32 offset rim with 205/45/16 tire rub?

i tried fitting them on and they seemed to be fine, but was not able to drive around and see if they rubbed. they have already been taken off the car. if anyone has any experience with this please help, thank you.

i have 16x8 with a +10 offset and they used to rub alot before i rolled my fenders and did some grinding down inside the wheel well.. i have the same tire size to. so yes im pretty sure it will rub somewhat.

i am pretty sure +32 offset won't rub and you dont have to roll or grind anything.

in his case the offset is 10 so the wheels stick out more than 1-1.5 inches thats alot ..
in your case 32 is perfect i guess.

Is your car lowered? That will make a pretty big difference.

yea i dont believe it will rub as much as mine does. but if the inside looks similar to the 03 theres a thick metal strip thing in the front wheel wells that run up the wheel well on the back side. it comes in contract with the middle of my tire. i grinded that all the way down. the only way to find out is try makin em fit! or find someone running the same exact setup lol
