ET15 will push the wheels right out (possibly past the arches) and like i said in your other posts you will still need the archs modifying. Lip cut off rewelded, rolled the whole lot. stud diameter 4x100 is fine. Front set 7.5 should be good to fit aswell.

not a massive loss, but you will notice it the further up the speedo you go, engine will be working harder etc. you will need to invest a lot of cash in getting all of the arch mods done aswell

so it sounds like it would b more sensible to go for the 7.5 all round and then just drop it that would still look phat! thanky for all the help by the way
