cutting to the chase, I'm sure you found a deal on some 17x7.5" wheels or there are some 17x7.5" wheels that you really like but they only come in that size. So, which is it? And what are the details of the wheels? Offsets?

Even with staggering tires, I still don't recommend it. And with spacers, anything larger than a 5mm spacer WILL require longer lug studs.

Yep i bought some 7,5x17 wheels
I got them for a price i could not resist and the wheels have a offset of +45 front and rear so i dont think there will be any problems with rubbing.
I got So3

Jonas, have you test-fit at least one of the wheels in the front to make sure they fit?

No i havent,the wheels are arriving on monday so i cant test fit until then.
Do you think it will stick out to much ???
I also got a promise from the shop that if the wheels dont fit the car i can return them and get a refund for the cost of the wheels and only pay for the cost of mounting and demounting the tires.

I wouldn't worry about the fit as you have decreased your diameter by .2 inches and I
believe others have installed 215's with little or no problems. FWIW, 3mm of spacer might work as a means to recoup lost stagger (however small) but could be negated by something as simple as inflation pressure variance. I wouldn't recommend spacers, but that's just me. 3mm is .1 of an inch.
