Default wheel size and offset question for Escort Cosworth

Hello

I have a question on wheel size and offset.
I saw people using 8x18 et15 on their Escort Cosworth.
If I want to use 7.5x17, should I be using et13?
I am thinking about using 215 45 r17 tyres.

Although I hate the idea of downgrading to 7.5inches, but
225 45 16 is hard to get a hand on unless order ahead.
Also, the tyre is rubbing the inner fender liner.

So, if I want to get that flush look with 7,5 inches alloy, I need to use ET13?
Thats according to the math, Im unsure of myself.

Cheers

What wheels are you ordering. I'd probably go ET10 myself.

Thx for your reply AJC.
That gave me confident that I'm heading to the right direction.
I planned to get Evolution millennium.
