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.

15x7 Fuchs are et23. Cookies are 15x7 et23. A 205 tire is pretty much 205 wide at the tread. So why doesn't the 17x7 et23 fit with a little rolling????

My 225/50 on 16x7 et40 +15mm spacer Boxsters fit great with DD's autox alignment. Then I bought an Eastwood tool and rolled the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) out of them that looks like they'll fit a 235-245.
