I'm running 16" MB rims with ET 37 front and ET30 rear.  I went with a 7mm
spacer on the front and found that the net result of 30mm offset is just
about perfect...it's also the same as the original 14" alloys.  I've not
experienced the problems you've indicated.  I don't think you can fix
negative offset unless you have the inner wheel hub surface machined.
