Currently I have some 15 X 7, 15 X 8 Wheels on the car.

Rear wheels are 15 X 8, have a 54mm spacer, and are ET 11.

Fronts are 15 X 7, have a 27mm spacer, and are ET 23. (stamped on the wheel)

Here are pictures of my fender gap, which is perfect. So, I'd like to maintain that, and move inward. I have plenty of space inside my wheel wells.

Dog is ET 8 years old.






Any help greatly appreciated. I'd like to order tomorrow.
What you have now is
front 7ET -4
rear 8ET -43

to get wheels that have the outer lip where the existing wheel outer lips are you need
front 9 ET 21.4
rear 11 ET -4.9

tires will complicate it a bit as a 255 will hang out ~15mm more than a 225

Jeremy's is a good place to look, form my notes he has
9ET17.7 w/ a 4mm spacer for net ET13.7 w/ 255/40
11ET-8 w/ 315/35

If you like his fit you will like them on you car

to me the 7/8 w/ spacers pictured is too aggressive and sits too far out, especially so should you want to lower the car some.
