That'll leave the arches nearly touching the tyres, right?

OMG! That is a high roller... I don't think even Steve can say that doesn't need lowering... It actually looks like its been heightened.

Get a suspension kit on it mate and it'll look

40mm mimimum being as the wheels are 15 inch?

It might be printed on the inside of the wheel... Failing that have a search on the web for your wheels and try and find what Offset they come in.

As long as their between ET42-ET49 you should be ok with a decent suspension drop I think. Some people run even lower Offsets but this causes problems when lowering as the wheels stick out too much and catch on the arches.
