Building Wheels for a 240 Wagon

So I picked up some BBS RS centers based on some 16 inch Ferrari wheels and will up-size to 17s. Bolt pattern is 5X108 but the hub bore is 58 so that will need to be opened up to 65.1.

Looking for some ET target suggestions for a 225/45/17 on a 7 wide barrel. Rear fenders cut, wagon is lowered. Not seen to many staggered setups (maybe go 7 and 8??) but open to suggestions. Not sure where to start measurement wise for offset with centers only either. Probably stay with gold or maybe white...dunno.

Anyway couple of pics - (15 inch panies, adaptors and tires are for sale also in a few weeks)








Thanks -
 
If you must go 17" Go 17x8.5 et9

but you better verify caliper clearance, you may need to run a higher offset + spacer to clear the caliper.
 
On my 245 I have BBS RS in 16x8.5" ET-2 rear and 16x8" ET+5 front. Tyres are tall 225/55/16 rear and 205/60/16 front (soon to be 215/55/16). Front is fine but if I wanted to run wider rear tyres the offset would need to be tucked in more. 225 on 8.5" is nice and square though which I like for daily duties.
 
So the ET on these wheels as they sit are front 11 and rear -2. Not sure that would look very good as they sit as 16's
