they will be 195/45 yeah.
if i get the wide arch kit (just the wide arches) and mod them to go with the std bumpers ya reckon they would clear the rims, cos the rims are only 7mm further out than my current alloys.
i want to go as low as poss on coilovers without serious arch probs

U will have no chance with these wheels m8, i have a set of ET 38 wheels in my garage and im on coilovers and i its just stupid
I was goin 2 go down this road and found after a long chat with frenchcorsa, the only way 2 get round it is 2 visit www.lsperformance.de and pik up a set of these arches, then u can go a maximum of 9inches wide et 15-25

if in doubt, just take the plastic arch off, and trim down till the screw holes (so you can screw the arch back on) wake out the hammer on anything else. You should be fine if the offset is right. but when you drop it, thats when you have to concider arch mod.

Also what would these wheels handle like against say a set of normal et45 16s? Ive heard people saying how the more you space your wheels out the worse it will handle when in theory it would be better as it has a wider wheelbase?

Excuse my stupidity but what do you mean by geometry? And does this mean that if these wheels were fitted it would handle worse than normal 16's say?
