It's the offset of that wheel that's the problem as well as the width...ET11 is a big no no on a T3.

In answer to your question though...yes that style wheel was available in 7"

thanks for that, can't see how any other offset would help as there is no room on the inside for movement

Depends on the wheel size,width and offset.
For example I've fitted 8X17 wheels with an ET of 28 with no suspension contact issues.

Have a look at the pinned threads at the top of this section for different wheels and their offsets to see what works.

No your problem is ET11....arch/tyre contact will always happen on a lowered 2WD T3 with that offset!

Don't go any lower than ET23.
