the six spoke 17" compomotive mo wheel is only available in 8" width, the 7.5" is a five spoke wheel. Unless you can find space for another 13mm either on the inside, outside or split between the two then the 5 spoke is the one to go for.

Default wheels

i got 17"x7.5 diamond cuts at the momant. but with the hi spec discs on the rear

the diamond cuts finish flush with the outside edge of the arch so very wide on the rear so maybe a differant offset on the back may work.The fronts are ok,but i want to put the 6 spoke on there not the 5 spoke sorry to if im being difficult.
