http://www.1010tires.com/wheelsfilter.asp?advanced=yes

found that site, lets you search by all the info you could want... offset, color, brand, etc also by make model..

why so frustrated.. tons of wheel sites let you search for wheels by make and model so you know it fits... tirerack.com, discounttiredirect.com etc

so change the offset

if you need spacers, go with a lower offset rating, that'll force the centerline of the wheel outward more, giving you more backside clearance :)
