Default 92 eg hatch

I'm picking up a 92 eg hatch next week. It is on adjustable camber arms and skunk 2 coils. I want to try and see what size wheels and tires is suggested to go with this setup. I will be no gap and want to run either 16x8 or 17x8. It's stanced the way it sits right now so I'm guessing fenders are rolled. If I go 17x8 will it clear with some 215 and if I go 215 what height of tire would be best? She is my daily so want the ride to be somewhat decent. Thanks in advance for the help. Still a noob so if this had been covered please link me to the thead and I'll delete this request. Thanks again

Then you may want to forget 17's all together. To get a properly proportioned tire, the sidewall would have to be tiny. 16's are going to be tougher to make work properly, as well.

15x7.5 to 15x8 with a 205/50/15 would work best for your requests.

What offset wheels would set them right flush with fender line?

Roughly +35 on an 8" wide wheel. The width of the wheel will determine what offset is needed to achieve the look of being "flush to the fender line".

I don't think I'll be going that wide. I'll probably stick to 7 or 7.5 max

Then you could go down to a +30 offset or so.
