Do you want the wheels to sit flush or tucked?

Have you checked the aggressive wheel fitment thread? That'll give you ideas on how some sizing will look and what work may need to be done.

Or you could check the Offset Calculator that's pinned to the top of this section. You know stock wheel size and offset so use that as your base. Go out to your car with a ruler, and start measuring horizontal distance to the fender. Subtract that from stock offset and you get the offset needed to be flush on a 7" wheel. Put your new wheel width in the second field of the calculator and punch in a random offset. When the calculator reads zero, there ya go.

^x1223394848949302828 for this. I would have done a super long winded explanation with strings with weight tied to the bottom and a ruler.
