8's for the rears and 7's for the fronts on standard arches.

I'm on 9's for the rears and 8's for fronts but i'm on wider Mk1 Astra arches

Wouldnt mind abit of stretch, but have the 195's in the garage so they are handy,

Does the banding change the offset?

Yes in theory, but the inside of the wheels will be the same as before the banding if thats what you're worried about.

Its just from the outside face where the wheels get wider.

My brakes are the 256mm set up so mine clear ok. Not sure about the clearance for V6 brakes, but i think they'll be fine too
