16 inch dia wheels for 89 200TQ?



Hello gang,

Although I know this subject has been beat to death before, I would like
to mount some 16 X 7 or 16 X 7.5 inch wheels on my 89 200TQ and I would
like to get some "been there done that" feedback from the list on what 
"offset"
I should use to run  205/55 X 16 tires on the car. As is commonly known
the stock wheels are 15 X 6 with 45mm offset  
(optional fuchs wheels were 15 X 7 with I believe the same 45mm offset)

If anyone is running a 16 X 7 or 7.5 wheel with a unique offset that allows 
running the 215/? X16 tire WITHOUT adjusting the alignment  to have more 
than
-1.0 degree camber in the rear or front suspension PLEASE let me know.
I currently have STEADIRIC's suspension kit on my car which lowers the 
front
an inch and the rear about 7/8 of an inch. The ride is a little stiff for 
my
tastes at times so I may be asking for trouble going to a shorter sidewall 
with
55 or 50 series tires. Any feedback on this would be most appreciated.

Please send email directly to my home account at scottmo@teleport.com

Much thanks in advance
Scott M.
