Euromeister 17 x 7 fuchs on narrow body, I tried looking... couldn't find pics Options

I'm going to try Euromeister 17 x 7" (ET23) on narrow body, because I found a pair here in Canada for cheap, saves me about $200 of importing a full set.
Just wondering how they fit, from a tire calculater it seems with a 205/50-17 tire it will only push the tire out less than a 1/4" more than the 205/60-15's I now have. If that's all it is they should fit my rear fenders with no mod or just a slight roll of the rear part of the lip.
I really like the look of the 15" fuchs with 205/60-15 tires, but the all season passenger car tires I have just plain suck.

The pro is 17" tires are cheap and you have a good selection of performance tires.

The con is I've never cared for the big rim baby buggy look. It just doesn't work for me on a vintage 914. The other con is they're not real and heavier.

But someone posted a set where they painted the lip black creating a faux higher side wall look that I really liked.
I've tried searching to find this pic but have had no luck, hopefully the member will see this and repost the pic.

The big questions I have is if anyone who's done this, is the ET23 correct offset?
I believe it is... but I'm working from memory.

And does anyone have pics?
Not interested in sizes or rims other than 17x7" euromeister please.
