[Shotimes] 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Ron Porter]

Kegel had good advice: look in the 35-42mm range.

Hey choices for the SHO suck anyway!

Also where are you looking? If you buy a copy of one of the Import
performance mags, there are a whole bunch of wheel providers that I never
heard of that handle FWD cars. If you are only looking at Tire Rack or
Discount, the choices are quite limited.

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.
