is et45 ok with a 7" wide tyre on 195 tyres? You dont have problems on the inside of the arch do you?

did you have two have to do any arch work at all to get them on when down that low? 16's would be nice! i dont want to have any rubbing though! you think 16's with an offset of et45 will fit ok then?

Hi guys, ive got the standard vauxhall 3 spoke alloys on the sport at the mo but i fancy upgrading! Problem is the front is lowered about 60mm (rubber strip at bottom of bumper is approx 2-3" above ground) so the wheel is really in the arch, and the back is lowered about 40-50mm. Therefore i dont think i can really get a wheel with a much bigger rolling radius inside it.

If i were to go for 15" wheels, what tyres would i need to give me the same/as near to as what i have now?

Ideally i would like 16" wheels, would this be possible with low profiles (if so, what ones?) or are they just going to rub and scrub my arches away?

Cheers for any advice, Phil
