Re: Wheel advice please
You're going to need stretch to aid clearance. Ideally you'll be wanting to roll the arches too.
Re: Wheel advice please
yea 205s on the rear will work but you won't be able to fit 205s on the front. 195/45 all round will look better and still be acceptible if your not into drifting and probably go straight on. Even so U may need to cut come rear lip and then roll it a bit but it will be minimal.. 8.5 is a nice size for the rear.

Re: Wheel advice please
DON'T try and roll the rear arches though.

Re: Wheel advice please
Hi guys, it's been picked up today, as have the wheels, I've got 195/50/15s on the standard rims, I'm guessing these are useless.....I want to run it pretty low, I'm happy to get the arches rolled but it won't be yet, when I'm back on my r&r I just wanna get the wheels on and get it sitting nice, so ill order through some 20mm spacers, just not sure of I can use my tyres or I need to source some...
Re: Wheel advice please
195 50 on rear ok. 195 45 max on front

Re: Wheel advice please

Re: Wheel advice please
Get a whole set of new matching tyres. They are 200 for for toyos on ebay I think.
These cars drop height really well.

Re: Wheel advice please
Would I get away with 15mm spacers not the front of these lads?
