ET35 or ET45 on type 44?

[pasquale pilato]

my first question is why would you put 205 tires on a
7" wide rim, you have the width to put a wider tire,
but that issue aside on my 1990 100q I had 7x17, ET32,
and they fit real nice with no problems.  That rim
will not fit with ET45.  I believe going with a wider
rim, you have to push the rim to the outside of the
car to keep the clearance.  The ET35 should be fine,
especially since you are using a stock size tire.
