Fikse FM 10 Wheels fit?

Depending on the thickness of the spacer, if you can get it somewhere between 7mm and smaller you should be good to go. As long as you have a minimum of 5 full turns of the lugnut it's suppose to be safe.
In addition, you can also get the tapered lugnuts that goes into the lugnut hole thus allowing you to get even more grabbing of the lugnut.

On a tight budget.

I would get open-ended steel lugnuts so you can see how much engagement is there.
I think your best options for a tight budget would be to trade for a set of early offset wheels (ensuring you get a set of crack-free and defect-free ones). And get some steel lugnuts too. Paragon (a sponsor here) sells them for around a buck a piece.
Take care,

CRAIGSLIST, but make sure you post it in the nearest large metropolitan area you live in. Not sure which seat type the lug nuts are on Fikse wheels? Most aftermarket wheels I have seen utilize the conical type, but ball type is also used frequently as well. Contact Fikse on that for usage. That's a good price for lug nuts posted above.

Thank you, it looks like I am going to have to sell them. I love these wheels.
Suggestions on where I can purchase a style like these that will fit this car? Can't afford a new set of Fikse's.
Thank you for all the input.

There's your answer. That's the advantage of a 3-piece wheel. That will allow you to also lower your car which looks pretty high.

…since you already ran a +25mm spacer in the back AND rubbed, I would try a Forgestar F14 in 5x130 +16mm rear and +23mm front (18x10R and 18x8.5F) respectively. This will give you an extra 5mm out in the rear. The wheels are built to order, so you give the specs you need and bolt circle (5x130) and they build to order. I paid $1300 shipped for a set of 4, so it’s a pretty good deal for flow formed cast wheels. If your concerned for cost, with Forged wheels, you won't get any where near that price. I had these on my last car, they are nice. Not quite up to the standard of the Fikse’s but you are concerned for cost, so that is my suggestion to you. I would run a more narrow tire as well with it, like a 265/35 or the like in the rear. The 18X10 wheels weigh 20lbs as I weighed them.
