Ok gents the guy who I brought these wheels off has said he is happy to exchange but not refund them for something else as he sold them to me as a straight fit. He has asked me to decide on another set of wheels. I have seen some 8.5jx19 ET45 rotiform wheels I like. Will these be ok? Or will i need to do modifications again? I don't want to listen to the guy at the tyre shop again. Thanks

You will most probably scuff with ET45 8.5" wide wheels, unless you do arch work.

I know 235 tyres on 8.5" ET52 wheels CAN scuff...so that's 5mm further in/out than I run with 225s...ET45 will need another 2mm of outside clearance and I think the extra couple of mm would give some rubbing.
It's up to you...
I wouldn't risk it.

Unless you want to do arch work to make them fit...as the 'scenesters' do, then you will be OK.

They will fit with some minor arch work and a little more camber.
Sportlines are a 50ish mm drop and  this will help with the tuck.

... it's turned into a fashion show for poofters.
