What Size and Offsets
GregZ:
Will 17"x7" rims fit dpending on the offset?
Gostlrs:
yes
205/40/17s are only size that will fit
rcicustoms:
anything 14"-17" will fit... but putting a 17 on a capri, is like putting 20s on a cutlass... your limited to 1 tire size.. 205/40/17...
a 16" wheel gives the freedom of about 3 or 4 different tire sizes... and a 15" lets you choose basically how far off you want your speedo...
i run a 16" wheel...there lighter weight, tires are cheaper.. you have more tire size options..
and you dont raise the car up at all...

thats cool but the thing i need to know is what offsets fit thats the problem no one knows the offsets that will fit with out rubbing

I'm not sure if it can help you but this is what works for me:
I have 15 x 6 1/2 OZ wheels that are just perfect, with 195/50/15 and the offset is 40.
I tried 15 x 7 with a 35 offset, still in 195/50/15, they are too large, but if I use the low springs, they are just fine and look good.
But 205 wouldn't work on these, the strut is too close and also they would be out of the fender.
I think 35 is a limit, but offset is just one of the parameters.
I wouldn't try 17x7 on mine, I don't know how I could do, so maybe the turbo are different
