Youll need arch work with those specs i run 8 x 16 et 35 as dailies, with arch work, tyres wise youll need to run 195/40/16's

Thanks for the advice all, I do intend to lower it at some point on coil overs so I can set it down to a nice height, we have loads speed bumps where I live so can't go for 15s thats why I'm thinking 16s to keep tham nicely tucked in the arches!

yes hugh, you're right about the height issue. I've tried twice to buy a set of lowering springs off some goons on here (you know who you are ) I think we're going to have to save up for a new set. geoff
