    Et20 or Et15? I am going to run 16x8 with 225 width tires...and i will slightly roll the fender as needed.

    I am thinking Et20 still...
    ET15 will be outside of the fender, but if thats the look you want, more power to you. You will have to do serious fender rolling with 16x8.5 ET20 and 225's, and same with 205's even. I'd run 225's and do a good rolling, but preferably a ET24 with 225's and minor rolling.

      I seriously think you should shoot for ET25 or slightly less (lower numerically). Although a 15x8 ET25 with 225's would likely rub, keep in mind the strut tubes are slightly angled towards the car as it goes up. The larger the wheel, the better you take advantage of this slant. So a 16x8 ET25 wheel with 225 tires would very likely have just enough room.

        Maybe. My friend Jarvis has 16x7.5 Borbets with et27 and 225/45 ES100s and there is less than a credit card width of space between the tire and the strut tube up front.
