Even if you lower the car 60mm on ET49 wheels they still won't scrub the rear arches, regardless of tyre profile.

I am buying a set of these for my GSi wheels. They are quite a good tyre for the price, better than the likes of Toyo Proxes T1-S and such like.

Don't be such a tightwad and spend a bit more extra cash on some decent tyres! Hankook tyres are shit, my old 15s came with them brand new.
