take one wheel off. look at the back side. there should be some numbers and letters there(ex. ET40, 17x7JJ, something like that)
post here what you find. we'll go from there.

well I looked on the outside of the rim and there is a number that is like your example which is 17x7JJ. Hope that helps anyone who needed the info. My only other problem is that I noticed the wheel is rubbing on the inside wheel well when I make a hard turn in either direction. So Im going to take it back to where I got the wheels and ask them to fix it.

well I went down to place where I bought the wheels and switched the tires for me. The tire size went from 45 to 40 and that took care of the rubbing. Im happy now!
