Wheel fitting thoughts...

Hi!

If a car takes a 15x6 rim and 205/65 tyres quite comfortably using an
ET45 offset, will a 17x8 rim with 205/50 and an ET35 fit? :)

I've probably been over this here on the list before and also in my head
and I think they'll fit. The wheel I'm looking at has plenty of rubber
overhang on the rims and 205mm is about 8 inches wide and it's not so
easy finding a decent rim in 17" size that is 7-7.5" wide and with an
offset of 45mm and I know a 35mm offset is used in Germany.
