Wheel and tire sizes - not a repost

I know this has been covered somewhat in the past and I've done a search and found that the widest you can fit up front is a 225 tire on a 18 inch wheel. My question is... Would I be able to fit a 245 Kuhmo V700 Victoracer up front on a 16x7.5 inch wheel if the offset is right? If so, what offset would be required? I'm looking to get the widest possble track tires up front and to match them in the rear. And would a 245 V700 even fit on a 7.5 inch wheel? Or would I need 8 inch? Thanks in advance.

Someone's got a offset calculator on the rx-7 site. Try doing a search for "offset calc"

245 will not fit up front with the stock suspension and stock fenders.

as long as we're talking about widest tires
Whats the size for widest in an FC on S5 T2 rims (16x7)
I'm assuming rim size doesn't matter a whole lot.

I think its 225 front, and 245 rear. Is that right? I can figure out the aspect on my own if the answer to my next question is what I think.

I also have goofy little 14" rims (for now). Does the total diameter of the tire sidewalls+rim change at all throughout models or is it the same for all (assuming its the same since theyre probly too lazy to calibrate speedo)
