the offset is horrible! you won't be able to lower your car much without having rubbing issues.

+45 is better, but ideally you'd want to be in the +50to55 range for the front and +60to65 for the rear, imo. I'd recommend getting 225/40 up front just to avoid some of the rubbing. And 255/35 for the rear, again, just to avoid some rubbing because it'll still be there if you're lower than 1.25".

yup! that'll give you more rubbing than what i recommended. If you can find better offsets for those wheels or similar you'd be better off. Good luck.
