Touché! But you'll not get a negative offset wheel comfortably on a Lude.

OEM is 16x6.5 et55 or 17x7 et55. You will be same with +40 offset easily. Tyre size?

Ratty; not sure, probably 215/40/17 as that's a standard size for 17s on the lude I think and these match stock sizes?

205/45/17 and 215/45/17 are the stock sizes. I strongly dont recommmend 205/40/17 if you car for handling. 225/45/17 being optimum.too.
