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.

I've got bk166 7x16 et45. if you like the look of any bk rims then let me know.

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 :)

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

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