SafeChav I found that (With 16" rims) a 205 tyre tramlines less on a 7.5 inch rim than with a 7.
You do run into ever so slight rear arch clearance problems though, especially with a rear disc conversion

ive got 205/40 17's on ET35 7j offset and mine caught the arches like fuck till i ground them out, ive got discs but ive had the set up modified so the wheels aren't pushed out as much as normal.

Ive got 7x17's with a 40mm offset and rear disc's, it is rather low 25mm lowered springs but they seem to have shrunk over the years
I cant get my finger between the arch and tyre on the back, cant get any coont in the back but it doesnt rub with 2 in the front

I have noticed springs tend to drop more over the years aswell........only natural i suppose though.
So what happens when you get some fitties wanting to get in your car, do you grin and bare the scrubbage?
