    It will look roughly like any 16x8 et0 wheel looks. Ex. sportmax. Probably would be able to fit a 205 max.

      Yep. Basically 3-4mm more inward than a sportmaxx 002, or any 16x8 et0 wheel and ~1mm inward compared to a 16x9 et15 wheel.

        I don't think you can define it with a number, but..."I know it when I see it."

            205/45 for sure. You'll end up rubbing like crazy on the 50 series. Plus the 205 isn't going to stretch at all on a 7" wheel, so you'll most likely be rolling the fenders pretty good.

                  Offset reduction is directly proportional to the amount of low.

                        Well, judging by the crappy pics of those they are well past "eur-oh" (thoo thuuuper!) and into "I can't afford wide enough tires, so I am gonna lower my shitbox more".

                          MSpaint diagram is about right for this type of wheel fitment.
