so the rim is actually a 17x7 ,not 7.5,i did not have it loaded,just front end up.im using factory tire 225 55 17. i thought of running lugs on but was scared i'd scuff it all it up and they wouldnt take it back,obviously i need to actually tighten it up and lower the car onto a block or something to get it loaded,i actually have a 4x4 with rubber attached for this purpose back in the lowered truck days... Sauk Rapids- the rim wasnt even close to the caliper,at least a 1/2 inch more than the factory wheel,and like i say..i didnt have it loaded or a tire on to see about wheel well issues. i will report back tomorrow with my findings
