Default Help with rim fitting

Can someone tell me if this size wheel will fit my 94 ES300?

17x7.5", 42 offset. Tires are 215/50R17.
I am hoping NOT to use any spacers. If you think I need spacers, what size?
I know the center bore of my AM rims is 66.10mm. So hub rings of ID 60.10 OD66.10mm are required. But is the offset that I am not sure about.

Also, can I have a staggered look by putting 255/45/17 in the back??
I know this is a FWD car....just wondering

Cary
Thanks

I don't think you will need a spacer and if you do it will be a small on in the rear. About the tires trust me i've tried it it does not work at all and I ended losing about 200 bucks on the experiment.

But you think a staggered setup is ok? Because this is a FWD car will it not affect anything?

If you think it's ok with a staggered setup, what's the thickest tires you can go in the rear on a 17"?

thanks.

I don't notice a difference on mine with staggered rims for better or for worse. Honestly its really a waste do do it but if you insist you can go with 225/50/17's in the rear
