Do research before buying new wheels or ask a question on here first.

Here ill start. Buy 9" wide rear wheels with et20 then buy a 5mm spacer with you want a little more.

Tell me the wheel specs and ill tell you want spacer to get.

Also you need to roll your arch lips and flare them a bit to look like them cars

Get 15mm or 20mm hubcentric spacer.

Also tyres are a little wide. I run 195/45/16 on 9" rears and 195/40/16 on 8" fronts

You roll the lip then flare the arch.

Should get away with just rolling.

Tweed..... Have you rolled your arches then re fitted the plastic trim? Did you have to cut down the trim to re fit?
