Unhappy I think I messed up with my rim sizing is there anyway to make it work?

New fit owner here.. I have a 2018 Honda Fit sport 6 speed manual. when I ordered my rims online I went to choose a higher 45mm offset and I got 35mm on accident. I have been searching everywhere to find a tire size to make it so it won’t rub.. the only thing I have really found is rolling my fenders but I don’t know if I want to do that based on trade in down the road. This is really just a summer fun good looking car I will put it away in the winter so tires don’t really matter all that much as far as being able to perform in the snow. Does anyone have any advice on how I can make this work? I love the rims and it’s a pain to return them. Any help is appreciated!

Personally, I'd just return them.

Sure, it could be a hassle... but considering the fact you're now trying to figure out ways to make it work is like that saying "throwing good money after bad."

Cant say 100%....but ur probably fine..especially f u dont plan on lowering i seriously doubt ur going to hit ur fender...unless u get a really fat tire and on full lock turns...maybe u will scrub the liner? . How wide is ur rim?

At stock height they won’t look great with the more aggressive offset, but I would be shocked if they rub, so long as you use the correct tire size.

Now that I really look at the car I do want to drop it a little. There’s no way to make these rims work if I dropped the car? I wanted the wider stance maybe lowered a little bit but I wasn’t dead set on lowering it. I had a vision with fender flairs and a wide stanced car 😂 I’m very torn I may just return them and wait forever again for my rims to come 🙄

I don’t have any experience with the GK, but 16x7 +35 doesn’t cause any problems at all with the GE or GD.
