Anyone fitted 7" wide rims before?
I'm looking at a second hand set of 16's with ET40 7" wide and also comes with 205/45/16 but concern they might be a bit too big.. (Everything is stock atm.)

I have the exact same specs on my wheels, except my tires are 195/45. I have no problems and I'm on lowering springs. The back tucks

195/50-16 is same height as stock 185/60-15 for a sedan...

My summer set up is 16x7s 38 or 40et with 195/50-16 tires and its a perfect combo

I have a hatch but don't think that differs too much. However i think the 205/45 might be a little too much
