My personal choice is H&R hubcentric spacers but you may go with others also...

I would like to point out to the OP that as counter intuitive as it sounds, going from an ET35 wheel to an ET45 wheel will make the problem worse

Well, ET 45 means that the spokes on this rim are 10mm closer to the caliper than the ET 35 rim (taking into account that the spoke design is identical).
So, bad news for you...  :sad1:

Dude you really need to find out wat ET these wheels are that you've got, it's gonna be hard to figure out wat spacer you need till you know wat your working with!
