205 vs 215 footprint on 7.5" Rim.

So 205 in the front OR stick with 215? Will I lose much of a foot print? I don't want to destroy my front fenders with 42 offset 7.5 wheel and 1" drop.

It would be about 1/3" on average.

I assume an overall diameter of 205 Continental DW tire being 24.3 instead of 215's 24.6 won't be a noticeable difference or will it look skinnier?

7.5 +42 is safe, all you need is some camber with a 1" drop... or you could cut the fender liner too.. 215s should be fine
