How fat can i go...

nah i know you are not having a go. i thought the stocko rims were 7" wide, thats what i've been running my calcs off

when i get them on i'll see if there is any scrubbing. i'm hoping not.

keep in mind the tyres will be stretched.

yeah the stock rims a weeny 6.5" wide. Thats why if you look at the 205's on them you can actually see they can be stretched at least another 5mm on either side because they sorta have a lip of unused rubber. That's why 7" is the minimum recommend rim for a 205, 7.5" is probably ideal and 8" is a little stretched although still very much doable. 9" inch is doable but looks a little odd if you ask me.

I've got aftermarket 17x7's on so I've never really looked into the specs of the stocko's, I bought the car with the wheels it currently has on it.

I have recently replaced the wheels with RS4 replicas. 17 x 7.5 with 205/40/17. It's ET 38. Look spot on in terms of width. I was comtemplating with ET 35, but really happy with ET38.

Will try to post up photos

Just a query; what is "staggered fitment" in regards to the type of wheel?

its when the rear is wider than the back usually found on rwd cars

???? rear is wider than the front Alex, geez come on!

staggered wheels will generally have more dish in the rear....as seen in the pic above. the wheels i'm getting are staggered i think.
