Is all about the wheel offset. Do you know what offset your new wheels have?

On my 2014 4Motion 17" wheels the Offset is 55, according to this site.

Yes agreed. An offset of 55mm is normal.

With your reduced offset...there may be clearance issue with brake callipers etc. As your wheels and tyres will be 21mm more in towards the engine.

Any problems with rotation of wheels and tyres will arise when on full lock.

So you might need spacers.

Was it a reputable company that suggested these wheels/tyre option for you?
