When I get to that stage I plan on using 16x7 on the rear and 15x7 front and polishing the lips on the fronts to match for a staggered fitment. 16's look out of proportion on the front and with 15's in front I can use a taller sidewall for smoother ride and keep the same diameter. 16x8 will fit but it's very close and they look too big for the car. Hard part is finding matching tires in 225/55/16 and 205/65/15. ET11 fit perfectly on the 111 chassis. The front 15x7 ET23 might need spacers to put the wheel at the correct offset. This is all well in the future at this point but always planning. I like the idea of a correct appearing wheels that allows the use of modern sized tires.
