mmmm buggatti BBS rims!! did you get them of edition38? what size adaptors are you using? get 195/40/15 as the adaptors will push them out a bit further.

et15 is pretty low, so they'll stick out alot. but you might get away with it if you don't lower your car too much. mine rubs with et25 on my 7x15's but its very low.

hmm ye ok thanks evryone.... i was gonna get my hands on a set of coilovers and then lowerit.. probably no more than abut 60mm as my estte if FULL of speed bumps.....ive got G60 arches on at the mo so ill get the 20mm adaptors and if there not rite ill sell them on or swap them for smallr 1's.....
my 16's at the mo are on 45 profile and they look ok.. would that still give me the stretched look though??

and yes bugatti rims for £150 lol....

thanks!

I am having the same thoughts for my new 7x15 rims. Has anyone got any pics of what a 165/45/15 tyre would look like as I was originally looking at 195/45/15 or 195/40/15.
