It is the same offset as on original 7R however, the inside rim shape is slightly different so a thicker spacer is required to keep the rim from rubbing on the brake caliper. This has a negative effect on how close the tire would sit next to the lip of the fender.

Either way, it looks like a 205/70 would be too tall or too close of a fit to install without some modification to the fender. I was hoping to fit the Vredestein Sprint Classic because I wanted vintage looking tires on the car. I know there are modern options but I don't like the look with my LWT build.
