[Shotimes] 16x7 or 16x7.5 ?

[Carl Prochilo]

Both wheels are very nice.  I know people are running 17x8s on their SHOs,
so it would stand to reason that 16x8 also fits.  The question is, can this
size be used on a Gen 2 without any body work?  For tire size, I assume
225/55 will still work from a past e-mail from you.
