Question +43 offest?

I'm clueless when it comes to rims. I'm looking at someone selling some rims off a mazda however the offset is 43. Will this work for me?

43 offset would work. They will stick out a tiny bit more than stock wheels.

Depends on the width of the wheel.

Our OEM wheel is 17x7 +45 if I remember right.

Depends on the person, probably 7" width. (My wheels are 8" wide) But, honestly, the wheels you stated are fine. In fact, I'd probably like them, since they'll stick out a bit more than OEM -- making it more flush with the wheel well.
