Wheels Rubbing!

[Thomas Barbera <tjbst39+@pitt.edu>]

I bought a set of MB Motoring MB6  15*7 wheels off of Discount Tire
Direct several of
months ago.  I bought them for my '86 4kq.  I was told
these wheels would fit my car.  It turns out the wheel offset is wrong,
and they stick out too far.  The tires rub the wheel wells in the rear!
I rode the car like that for a while because I had no choice, and the
rubbing went away so I ignored the problem.  Well, I just recently had a

tire slashed, so I decided to buy a new set of tires, the same size the
wheels came with.  When I put the new set on, it started rubbing again!
Why would their computer tell me the wheels fit when they don't?  What
can
I do to fix the problem?  I don't want to ruin my new tires!  Would
cutting some
of the wheel well work, or will that cause a problem?  Would someone
like
to buy my wheels?  I don't know what to do.  Any advice would be
appreciated.
Thanks.
