Alright, thought I was in the clear after the upgrade. WRONG. The 16x7 SLK wheels I had wouldn't clear the caliper and was barely scraping it. The ET on them were 37. So I figured lets try the 16x8, ET 30, well too much push, they rub with the 215/50/16. So now, I am thinking to find a 16x7 with low 30s offset, or a 16x7.5 with a 41-37mm offset? Everyone was saying spacers on the 16x7, but I didn't feel comfy, and besides, all the lugs were too short. So quick question:
1) Luke, what is the offset on the 16x7.5 8-hole replica wheel.
2) Would the 16x8 ET 36 wheels fit better, or you think the 6 mm would not help the rubbing issue much.

Thanks
