Would a 19x8.5" with 35 ET and 225 tyres work ?

I still think you really need to be a lot closer to ET45 - those you linked to (and any ET35) will be too far out and (from looking at mine) will rub like crazy on the wheel arches. 225 tyres would help but I still think you'll really struggle. I am happy to be proven wrong though.

Ok Iv decided to go with spacers rather than get new wheels . I really like the Santiagos .
But so far Iv ordered 15mm spacers once they arrive ill then decide to order either 10mm or 20mm ...
