Thanks for the replys, also seen another set of rims with et25, so am I rite in thinking that the et42s would catch on the inner arches and the et25s would catch the outer arches? So witch would be the better of the two? If I had to use wheel spacers on the et42s then would they aso not catch the out arches? Sorry all the questions  :tongue:

I've just fitted et26s and they fit perfectly... With no drop. I think when I come to lower I will struggle to go further than -40mm so it all depends what u want. You would space the 42s so they sit just where u want them so, everything else being equal, they are your best bet I'd imagine

One way to look at it is if you need to add spacers you can. If it's scraping badly on the outer arch then it's a much bigger job or impossible to get them to fit.

The car is lowered 60mm on the back and 50mm on the front so not sure the et25's would be a good call. Although I am getting the arches rolled.
