Glad that you can confirm that an 8" width fits with (only) 52mm offset. 7" should actually fit better then. The OEM offset is 65 and marginal offset is 55, with a 7" or GT 7.5" wheel....so going both wider and lower offset is not optimal. Normally one would want higher offset to accommodate a wider wheel. Though if they fit and meet the owner's goals, I'm not the guy that is going to finger-wag about suspension geometry.

That is not correct for the fronts.
An 8" with a 52 is AWESOME! Bigger ET is better on the 8" front wheel. I have Carrera Light Weights that are 8" and ET50...THEY are close but work. At least with 225 tires.
7" with a 52 would not be correct I do not believe, nor do I think you will find one that size anyway...but I could be wrong about this...

I'm sorry everyone I total forgot I posted this thread. I hate it when I forget to subscribe to thread, especially my own. Thanks for all your input. The wheels sold quickly, just my luck. Any member selling a set of wheels? Also I found this in my archive Andrew Olson's wheel fitment guide but I cant upload. I guess xlm files not allowed.
