You'll be able to get upto 9-9.5J rear and 8-8.5J fronts depending on how much arch work you want to do

The car will handle like pants with wider wheels, and aquaplane.

It also depends massively on the offset of the wheels

I've just had a look and my standard bbs's are ET43 so I'm guessing I can only take of a few mm to get the wide stance?!

ET25 front & ET20 rear will bring standard 6.5J wheels flush with the arches. In other words 18mm spacers front & 23mm spacers rear
