NC Rim mounting help (s4 4-lug)

To start off I just bout 18x8.5 with a +45 offset... It was a deal that if I didn't grab it right there another guy was looking to buy them so I went ahead and grabbed them. Unfortunately that meant I didn't think about the offset... stupid.

I have access to a fender roller and dont mind pushing my front and rear fenders out/up since it's going in for paint next month. My question is what will I have to do to modify it to fit my vehicle. If my calculations are right I need to use a spacer with approximately 13mm which means I'll have to restud the hubs is that correct? If it's not a good buy I can always flip them for a profit but they're definitely one of the nicest sets I've ever seen and want to try and use them if it's possible.

yes.. lol I looked up if anyone was running them but... guess what? they make them in a plus +30 version go figure. I'm going to go up to a rim shop and see if they'll give me crdit towards a new set and if not I'll either resell or buy spacers. stupid, stupid, stupid.
