Youdirtyfox,
Are you running coil overs? What is the diameter of your strut/coilover body at tread height?

Yes I am. At tread height is the spring and the tire/rim is about 40mm away from it.
(That is with 15x8 ET15 195/45/15 btw @ -110mm)

A 16x7 or 17x7 with a +25 to +35 offset should bolt up with no issues on the body or suspension.
Also, 205 45 16 are super close height wise to a 205 40 17.
Are you planning on a lower suspension??? 15's can be made to look sick on these cars as well......slammed right down.
Correct me If I'm wrong on my offsets anyone........

Thanks for your input. I am planning on lowering it with the eibachs eventually(probably a month or two).

Look closer to +40 and +30 than +20 on 7" and 8" rims. With too great offset you can always run spacers.
Stock offset on a 15x6 is +45, to maintain the distance from the strut to the rim you want to subtract 12mm for every inch wider you go.

So from your rule then 7" would be around +33~ and 8 would be +21. I think I'd like to avoid using spacers as much as possible. Thank you for the information
