Best bet is to try and find out what the ET on the standard classic wheel is (afraid I don't know) and try to match it. For what it's worth though, the smaller the ET number the further out the wheel will go. With a small enough ET you may find the wheel protruding beyond the arches, though it would have to be smaller than 35 I'd have thought. With too large an ET you may find the wheel rubs on the inside of the wheel arch?

hello,
the stock rim, 7x16 ET 53, you will be fine with ET 50
I have superlegera 7x17 ET48, used to have 215/40/17 but now I have 205/45/17 and have no problems.
