Correct Offset for 7.5x17??

[Mikey_Boy]

Hello folks,
A quick one and apologies if this has been asked a 1000 times before. Have an 89 325 sport currently running 15s with ET24.

Looking to get 17s (AZEV A's for that old skool look) that are 7.5 instead of 7 inches wide, running 205/40x17 tyres.

Can someone please advise on the correct offset - was thinking ET25 to keep things as close to standard as possible, but don't want the wheels fouling arches etc etc.

Any advice would be great!
Cheers,
Mikey_Boy

The 17x7.5 Azev As come in ET20 IIRC - plenty of people use those with no problems.
They're also available in a FWD offset which would require lots of spacing & be far from ideal - just make sure you get the right ones!

As an example, although it was with 16" wheels, Hartge used 7.5" rims in both ET20 and ET25.

Thank you for the advice!!

205/40 is the wrong size by the way.. 215/40 is proper
