Bought a set of staggered D90 wheels off eBay seller had two sets said that the sets were staggered 6" n 8" figured ET52 each
When I pulled them out of the boxes
They are 6/et52 n 7/et55

Was thinking what I was going to do if the 8"s were too wide or I didn't like them but I'm kind of disappointed that they're 7"s and not 8"s

Am I better off with this combo? Or should I try for the 8"s for the rear?

Nothing? No thoughts?

How do the 7s fit in the rear? What size tire to you plan on using?
I ask, because with that big of an offset you may have problems with your tire rubbing on your suspension parts.

Running adapters so 1" out
When I thought they were 8s I was planning 225/50/16 and 175/60/16 on 6" front
I was going for same width/ sidewall difference between rim n tire

The 7s just throw off calculations
