correct offset and will these rims fit?

Hey all. I just sold my old rims of my ex-vehicle and am looking for some new and fresh ideas for my mini. found a really sharp set of rims that are 4X100 lug pattern, but the offset is +38. I believe that these rims should fit without rubbing or causing any damage, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks to all who respond, help this noobie find some nice wheels!

They'll stick out 16mm further going from a 7" wide 48 offset wheel to a 7.5" 38 offset, but they'll fit.

The wheels you have chosen will sit just about flush with the fender. Make sure you make a wise decision on your tire selection, so you won't have to worry about rubbing issues.

I was thinking 205-50-15 for the tire size. I don't believe that hese would rub, but if you know better, please let me know!

They shouldn't rub, but you might want to bump up to a 195 or 205/55-15 to stay closer to your stock tire diameter. Also check around on the forums to see what size tires other members are running on their 15's.
