you wont get 15's on, no lower than 17's to be honest

Depends - some 2.0 come with 15" wheels  :smiley:

Spot on, a guy in work has a 2.0 with 15"s, 16" were an option I believe but standard on Turbos.

Correct  :wink:

so they will fit? the idea is to lower the car on coilovers so hopefully it would look pretty cool with 15s, i think it has either 15 or 16s on it now tbh.

what you guys recon, its silver and these alloys are like deep dish pepperpot style.  :smiley:

15"s are too small really but 16"s can look good if it slammed, what wheels are they.

You might be looking @ custom adaptors which will not be cheap.
