the ET has to be 45-49 anything above or below and you might have problems. just get some vauxhall alloys mate they all fit perfect. cesaros or fan blades maybe :P

all wheels rub on the inside arch on full lock wen its any lower than 60 mill, unless you put some thing like cav wishbones on, but u would have to customise them, but as long as you only goin down about 60 you should be ok, thats if you wheels are in the correct of set if not cut the bolts off the archs and file the edges ;) :lol:
