Spoke to a few people and 7.5" (why this size..cus theres Fcuk-all choice wiv 7" :(:() will go on. My main concern is the front wheel touching the suspension. R-Tech say they will go on with spacers (1mm :o spacers) just 'ave to see...

I would have thought with 7.5" you will be fucked anyway on the arch

true, have heard that avo are ok, i have spax only paid £200 so cant moan really

depends upon coilover brand

some go straight on

what sort of clearense would i need if were to put on 18s, 215/40/18 with ET45 and coilovers?

Whats the point with a 1mm spacer?? its too thin, it wont make any difference what so-ever! How close do you want to run the tollerences? if 1mm allows clearence then as soon as the SLIGHTEST bit of flex occurs in the steering assembily it will catch.

Just need it for my front wheels, as its going to be 7.5" wide and clearance need from my suspension. An orignal offset of e45 plus the 3mm spacer = e42 will be fine wont it, on 18's? Think an extra 3mm wont rub my front arches? :o

3mm is the smallest I've ever seen.

3mm is smalest we do

think so
