Use 195/45 tyres and you should have plenty of room.

Back looks like it will be okay with some stretch


Might need to do some work on the front

A touch of negative camber and stretch and you'll be sitting pretty.

Yh gunna stretch some tyres over them. How do you set the camber? Have no idea how as never owned wide enuff wheels before.

camber shims should do the job

Cheers dude!. I'm gunna try them without camber first as I do a lot of miles and don't fancy going thru tyres fast.
