I got them on fine... now the tires are rubbing...

205/55/16 Tires on 16x7.5" Wheels w/ no idea of a offset its a high offset though

I dont want to get spacers...

If you have Teins let me know what you have as far as wheels, offsets, and tire sizes.

Thanks

OE offset is 40mm, you've increased overall width by about 25mm, so you're too close unless your wheel offset is lower than 30mm. (depending on wheel lip and design of course) You'll have to run a spacer. The 2 cars I know running Teins HEs both run 5mm spacers for clearance.

Also check your camber adjustment, by increasing it you may get a little more room.
