i also refer to this thread and agree with matt entirely.

Dosnt mean anything, flawed argument. The point here is that the wheels had to much offset for Andys car, irrespective of the width. Forget tire stretch and all that, makes no odds the wheels just didnt fit.
I could run those Ipuls without issue on the N2, which was the ultimate reason why I flipped them so I could skid on them without having to run with gay stock wheels.

f you do it on a 9j then fair enough. you can still fit 185/195 tyres on them.you need wide rims to do it. you also need ideally near to 0 offsets so like a plus 10 etc. otherwise the flip is going to be extreme. either this or mental bodywork to house them.

If the wheel was a 9j there would have been even more arch clearance issues, though so your in the same situation as you are with a 7j. the wheels dont fit.
It just comes down to how much arch you have to play with. FYI those wheels were a +17 orginally and I reckon they were a -25 or there abouts - fitted them to mine and they sat almost in the same place.
Starting with a lower offset does mean less offset when they are flipped and more chance of getting them under near stock arches.
Still if you have a decent amount of arch and want dished wheels for the cheap this is the way to do them
