89 gxl 16x7 aftermarket rim which offset?

Looking at some 16x7 rims to put on my 89 FC. I dont want to put spacers and I have coilovers. Both sets of rims i'm looking at are 16x7 but the offsets are 43 and 45.

Can i choose either one or is one better then the other?

they will both look gay as aids. too narrow. too much offset. read the wheel and tire fitment thread.

a stock t2 wheel is, as you know i think, 16x7 with a 40 offset, 42 is only 2mm, close enough.

since its basically a stock wheel, it'll fit. although its gonna look stockish too.

if you're expecting 'hella flush' then these aren't gonna do it

I dont know **** about rims. Just the stock size and offset of the t2 wheel. basically i just want it to look good with out rubbing on anything with about a 2 inch drop.
