I'm running 205/50/15's on 7" rims with a 40mm offset and the clearance to the front strut/spring mount is about 1/8" so I doubt they will fit

I have a 40mm offset and run:16*7 with 215 40 16
and in the rear I use 225 40 16
Yokahama A520
I found all 45 series tires hit even with a rolled lip.

42mm would be pretty tight. Not tight like "Dude, your car is tiiight!" but tight like "The reason your tire blew is because the offset caused the clearance to be too tight and your sidewall got chewed up. Hope you have a speedy recovery, and I'm sorry about your car."

Got Boost?
So...... the offset he should be looking for is aroun 38-40, for 16x7 rims, and use 205/45/16's? Just curious, I hope to be looking for rims in the forseeable future.
Stock offset was 40mm on 14x6 right?

So can someone here recommend what offset would work best for 7" wide rims? I am also upgrading to 15"x 7" soon and I want to use 205s in the front and 225s in the rear.

Thanks guys. I decided to get some 16x7.5 with 40mm offset. I have 215/50/16's that I'm going to try, I'm just a little worried about the front rubbing......
