15mm spacers would take them to around et23? which is getting close to the arches..

15mm doesnt sound alot but would make alot of difference! guessing you would need longer bolts tbh

mine are 12mm spacers and when lowered 40mm with 205 tryes I couldn't really carry 2 people in the back!! I have trimmed the plastic arch liner now and fitted 195's and it's 95% sorted any rub issues any over 40mm. oh and longer bolts are a must!

The cheapest way to get the look your after is with some rims of a bmw, porsche, merc etc. You will need adapters but then you can get different widths for a different stance.
otherwise some wide wheels will cost £800 upwards.
