you can get away with et35 lowered 40mm as long as you have 195/45 profile tyres

you just need to remove the top two bolts from each arch and give the inner arch a good blattering with a rubber mallet

or alternativily you can camber the rear wheels by putting a washer on the bottom bolt(s) of the stub axle

where there's a will there's a way
