Default Offset Help ASAP!

ok so since im only 17 and dont have to much extra money like most u guys on here lol i got a set of cragar window d wheels (almost like diamond racing steelies) front: 17x8 0 offset... Rear 17x9 0 offset. tires are 215/40/17 i did alot of research and thought these would look great for a first set of wheels while i save up for some nice ones. Well my question is the 0 offset doesnt seem to like my caliper haha it hits. havent driven car yet cuz i dont want to bone my wheels or caliper. can someone help me with what i could do to fix this. Grind caliper? seen it but not to big on trying it unless its the only way i can get them to fit. Imput and pics would be awesome! Thanks ben

think about it for a second, you are GRINDING part of your caliper off to make these fit, that doesn't sound right does it? Do what you want and then post pics!

If you got them cheap, Sell the wheels and make a small profit. They don't fit our cars. Period.

Prelude wheels have about a 55mm offset. These have 0mm offset. They won't fit without absolutely destroying your fenders.

Keep your "gay" prelude wheels until you have the means to do a proper wheel swap. This ain't it.

im not trying to f@#k my shit up. i just wanted some input or if people have ran into this problem before. i will measure clearnece needed and if it is just a tiny bit i might go ahead becasue its just the part of the caliper with the random bar.not getting close to anything near the actual breaks. I will keep updating and we might all be suprized who knows
