You need to roll the fenders to make them fit.

Check online and YouTube for DIY's.

Roll the fenders, be careful though. I had to repaint my whole rear quarter panel because I didn't use enough heat when I rolled the fenders. I'm VERY Surprised that 225s are rubbing at OEM offset though.

WOOOW I misread that something fierce... its a 10mm offset yes you will need to roll and probably flare the fenders.

Re: help fitting 16x8 10 offset rota

get a widebody kit... or remove fenders altogether... either that or tires will take care of the fender clearance by themselves soon...

Re: help fitting 16x8 10 offset rota

More or less what he said. You'd have to flare them out pretty far to gain clearance.
