[Shotimes] 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Carl Prochilo]

The bigger the offset, the closer the inner edge of the wheel gets to the
center of the car, right?  So too big a number will cause rubbing against
the strut.  The gen 1s have the problem of rubbing the edge of the fender.
I don't believe that's the case for gen 2s.

If I really need a larger offset, then the choices go down even more.
