7.5x16 and 9x16 rim fitting issues+tyre choice

[Jamesb318is]

Im looking at some new wheels, (and before anyone asks i'm keeping my azevs for the time being) and i want to use a 7.5x16 front and a 9x16 rear to get that euro dished look.
Anyone used these sizes? had any problems? what size tyres should i use?
Btw my car is currently at standard ride height.
Also, as these would be bespoke rims, what sort of offsets should i be looking at using?

i am running the same setup. the rears are et15, but an et of upto 20 should work. the fronts are et 20, but again a et of 15-30 should be fine.

as for rubber i am running 215/40/16's all round and have no rubbing issues on a 35mm drop, it only rubs with two in the back and going over bumps. it is a real stretch on the rears. 225 rubber would be better, but you may get rubbing. i have not folded the arch lips but will do as it will give 5mm+ more room.

by the way what wheels you looking at?

[Jamesb318is]

That would be telling!
No seriously, something from www.imagewheels.co.uk

Doesnt look like you can just give them an offset though, so gonna have to get the tape measure out i think!

I like the Billet 85 but they're a bit out of my price range

im looking into the dm style too. in a 17inch. id get the centers colour coded! motorsport style

price isnt too bad considering the price of more comon wheels.

the dm is lovely, so are the 85 and 86, i'm sure if you tell them what offset you require they will make it.
