they might hit the suspension depending on the width of the wheel

Actually 5mm further in. Offsets are measured from the centre so it's 10mm/2.

Just a quick tip, if it even is a tip to start with lol, with ET the higher the number such as 45 or 50 etc then the more further in the wheels will be, hiding under the arches. I think we all tend to go for a lower ET such as 35 or 30, maybe 25 or whatever number is out there on alloys, the lower the ET number then the more the wheels stick out in line with your arches, which gives the best stance i believe. Always check the ET i would say when you shop around for new wheels.
