IIRC the steel wheels used on 740s were mainly 15" rim size. I know that the early 240s used 14" steel rims. The offset is important it must be around 25mm (plus or minus a couple of mm), or the steering geometry is upset leading to prematurely worn tyres. You will also have to check that the wheel rims clear the callipers safely or change your tyres for 15" variety on 15" steel wheels.

All the best, Peter
