I want to put some more modern wheels on my 74 preferably a 16x7 or 17x7 just to change up a little what offset will get me here and in the fender I like the xxr522 the drift z 303b fx

For the 2 bolt strut Supers a 7" wheel sits under the fender best with an et55 wheel.

that offset is pretty common in Subarus and modern VWs so 5x100 or 5x112 stud pattern will make wheel hunting easier
