Right, thought I best ask before I make a terrible heartbraking mistake.

Will BBS RS 15" with Front Wheels:

8J/15H2 ET12

Fitted with 205/50 tyers

2 1/2 dishes



, and Rear Wheels:

9J/15H2 ET-16

Fitted with 225/50 Proxy Tyres

5 inch rear dish



, fit under the arches on my car (Pictured below) when lowered 40mm (Which the car is at the moment)???

Im sure someone has experience in this matter haha!

Thanks

40mm, looks more like 60mm - 80 mm  :cool:

Don't know the answer unfortunately.

5inch rear dish...  :shocked:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

The rear definately wont fit with those tyres, im guessing on a serious stretch required and arch work. Its the et thats gonna cause you problems. You want 195's all round but then stretched tyres arent everybodys cup of tea.
Im running 8j all round with an et of 22, and 195's, lowered 70mm is and the catch slightly with people in, but thats on a mk3.
