New Rim im getting

ebay This is the rim im getting I know that the bolt pattern and the sizes are right. But the guy is not responing to my question if it will fit the mazda 3. It looks like it will fit, but because of the bigger size caliper i think that the star thing in the rim will be hitting it when it spins, because its angled back.
Can any1 help me as soon as they can.

EDIT:
They also require some sort of "Tuner Lug Nuts " im quite sure what they r, but where can i find some for a mazda 3... ebay has some but its not specific to a car,this is what i mean
I need help really bad, and the quicker the better.

I can't help you with the wheel but any M12 x 1.5 tuner lug nuts will fit your car.

The Motegi DPK 17" wheels will not fit a 2004 Mazda 3 s.

17x7 - 42mm - 5/114.3
42mm is a too low offset for a 17x7 wheel.

this is according to http://www.1010tires.com/ - just find your wheel - then click on Check fitment on left..

I talked to they guy and he also said it would not fit. i did found another one that says it fits a mazda 3 04 to 05 but its also 42 offset...so wtf????

this is the rim

EDIT:
What offsets will work for mine car. like from what point on. anything below 42? because the website 101tires, said that 40 is too low to fit too? I don;t understand the offset concept either. on the way some1 plz explain me that too.

What I want to do is replace my rim and keep my stock tires which r 205/50 or something like that (w/e that means no idea either). so will any wheel thats 17by 7 fit my old tire???

Read the rest im trying to fit the new rim into the stock 17" tire.

EDIT:
If i use a 42 do u think that i could use a 2mm spacer and it would fit?
