I had this problem when looking for 16's - hardly any wheel companys make them in ET45/49 and 7" wide...

In fact, what offset will they be, you might squeeze them in if you get your rear arches rolled...

no problems at all

i chose falken ze512 tyres cos they angle inwards abit more giving it less chance of rubbing. avoid federals cos the stick out loads past the edge of the rim

i had 7.5" x 16" ET45 mille miglia actions and they did rub at the back lowered 40mm, but only occasionally and i only had minor arch work done.

If u bensd the metal some and get busy with the grinder you will be ok.
