Cheers 4 the repyls, I take it 15" is the way to go. With 7j do I need spacers? I'm lowering it 40mm I noticed the other day that my rear wheels (pirreli p's) seem to be in line with my rear struts, do u think they will hit? I'm not sure what et they are? It's the same wheels as on the mk1

Spacer requirement will Depend on the Alloy Offset NOT the Alloy Width....

You Could fit 9's if the offset was right... Have a play with that link I sent you!!

As long as its ET35 or less, it''ll be fine as in not hitting the suspension strut. Anything higher, you may have a problem, but if it's lower, you'll be fine. Find out what offset they are before you lower it, as you may have some trouble with arch rubbing. Mine rubs on a ET24 with a full car, and it's lowered 30-40mm
