you can fit from stansard 16`s up to about 19"-20" alloys without hassles apart from with the big wheels it wll look like a 4x4 lol                   

18`s are a good choice and nicely lowered about 40-50 mm

How wide do you want? 10J on the rear is very possible.

Im with linz on this one they dont rub on full lock either????
had some 20s on it and they rubbed very slightly and they were an extra 800 big ones so i decided to go for the 19s
