Yep... it's still up.
The problem with generating an FAQ on wheel fitting is that there are simply too many variables. Offset, hub bore, backspacing, width, ride height of the car... When I bought 16" wheels for my '86, I guessed. I guessed right, but no matter what I read or who I talked to, there was always a different story or no story at all.
In the end, I bought from a local tire shop. That way there was someone standing right there when they were installed, and we could try different spacers as necessary. All I know after this whole thing is that my '86 900S notchback with Jamex lowering springs has no problem with 16x7 Motegi wheels with a +42mm offset and a 5mm spacer in back. :) 205/55-16 tires have not been a problem thus far, but the 2-door doesn't move people or stuff. There are only three things it hauls, ever: Me, my girlfriend, and ass. :)
