The rear definately wont fit with those tyres, im guessing on a serious stretch required and arch work. Its the et thats gonna cause you problems. You want 195's all round but then stretched tyres arent everybodys cup of tea.
Im running 8j all round with an et of 22, and 195's, lowered 70mm is and the catch slightly with people in, but thats on a mk3.
