    I bought these new wheels pro comp 69 16x8 -12 mm offset for my 2008 sport. The left wheel is rubbing the caliper so discount tire is gonna swap them out for different wheels. I was thinking a 16x8 pro comp 89 0 mm offset should clear the calipers but the discount tire guy says they probably won't because the tire will be pushed in more. I figured the positive offset will help clear the caliper better ? Any help is appreciated

    The wheels that are rubbing the caliper have 4 in backspace . The new wheels I'm thinking of putting on have a 4.5 backspace and are 16x8 0 mm offset . I should clear the caliper with the 0 mm offset and 4.5 backspace right ?
