Default Offset question

Hey so I have Enkei RSV's on my S2000, I had the 18x7.5 +35 offset all around, recently my rim had an encounter with my caliper when the bottom bolt sheered off and the caliper came off the rotor and went into my rim, While looking for a new rim, i found out they are not made anymore, however the only rim that I can find is a +45 offset what can I do to fix this? please help!

+45 on that width will not be a problem.

The 45mm offset is going to give you less clearance than the 35mm wheel. If the 35mm wheel hit your brakes the 45 will as well.

I think the brake caliper only hit when that bolt broke. As long as the wheel width is the same, you could run a 10mm spacer on the +45 which would equal +35 on your other corners.

Ok thanks 1nate7, that's what I was thinking, and yes it only came in contact with the rim when the bolt came off, also, would me running a +45 offset wheel with a 10mm spacer push the tire out? would I need to figure out another way to put the tire or just run a more neg. deg. camber?
