I converted a '74 2.0 to 5 lugs and fitted a set of ROH ZR-6 16 X 7 wheels. This wheel has a 46mm. offset, and I used one 8mm. spacer in the rear(resulting in the stock 38mm. offset) and 16mm. spacer (two of the 8s)in front to keep the tire from rubbing the strut. The biggest tire I could use with stock fenders was a Nitto Exit, size 195/60 X 16. This gave about 3/8" clearance on each side of the tire in the rear. Remember: Tire carcass widths are based on a nominal wheel width of 6" in this range. For each 1/2" increase in wheel width above this nominal, the tire carcass width will increase by 0.2". That's why a 205/60 X 15 tire will work OK on a Fuchs (5.5 X15)
