Yes that is true lol, this is hard indeed, I wish I had found some rims with higher ET. Thanks for your concearn MINIAC, I should probably use 205/45 but I am afraid it will be a harsh ride

.
But I think it will look better with 205/45 since it will stick out less and like you said, risk for rubbing is reduced. I have ordered my wheels online so I have no chance to try before I buy, so I am trying my best to figure out what will work best. I will stick with my order and hope the ride is good although I am used to 175/65 R15 (my old setup)
