Go for a 7 if you can. Any offset between 0 and +10 should fit without mods

yeah, around zero and upto 8"s wide will fit at the rear. and with rolling (which you can do with a metal pipe) will fit at the front.

Hey i'm interested in how those wheels fitted. When you say fine for the rear, what size tyres were used? And how about the front?

You can get away with not so good offsets on the rear

My rears are 15x7 +23.

You'll need some lipping for the front to fit them properly I bet ...

Well, anything at least 7" wide with negative offset will look good ...

I get by with -9 offset however had to lip my guards and run negative camber on the front just to fit everything.

That said, I don't think Superlites come in 7" wide with zero offset - overall, I find them pretty heavy compared to Konig Rewinds.
