i had 15x7.5" rims on my 86 and they stuck out the side pretty far, i would say 17x7" would look nice if you dont want them sticking out of the fender

that won't work with the stock offset...

i have 17x7's all around on mine with 215/45's so i can rotate them...

stock offset is +40mm ...this is what i have and the 215's are close up front but don't rub. 235's with that offset i don't think will fit (but will def rub for that matter). you'd have to get an offset like +38mm or more

good luck man
