New wheels is the best option.... basically you have the wrong offset. You could get spacers as well but its generally not reccomended.

Eibach has a set of wheel spacers that will push your wheels out to the edges. I dont know how much they run, but they seem to work. I think Maximum Motorsports has some too.

I have the same problem, so I put my stock wheels back on and Im trying to sell them and buy new ones

I would have needed a 2 inch spacer (fuggin huuuuge), and then would have had to get ARP studs or something longer and stronger, IF i could find them. Plus in the back of my head I would have to worry about how sturdy that setup is while Im driving around(or doing burnouts or donuts or whatever, all in a days work)...so I said screw it.

The ones that Maximum Motorsports sells are billet aluminum, are hub-centric and have OE-grade studs in them. They bolt on to your studs and then your wheel attaches to the studs on the spacer. Before I bought the 10.5's and 315's, I had the 40mm MM spacers on my wife's car. There were on the car for two years without incident. Never any vibration problems or anything else.

Here are before and after pictures of the car.

I would put the stocks back on and sell those on ebay to some ricer kid. They look like wheels for an import. Throw down the extra cash and get some meat on that thing. You will be much happier instead of trying to make those skinnies stick out further.

Make sure you get the spacers that have studs on them, not the ones that the wheels still bolt to the axle but have what is basically a washer between them. They won't leave many threads for the lugnuts to attach to
