    how low are you looking to go? I would say 7x15 et25 is probably best suited to you. If you run 7x15 et25 with 195/45 I would say you could get away with a 40mm drop. If you want a 60mm drop, you will need to trim the arches back a little.

    Nail on the head mate...it does seem that all the so called 'nice cars' have specially adapted hubs or arches.

    This is about as Low as i'm going...maybe a few more notches on the rear [:$]

    The compos will fit over 280mm brakes, no sure about the others suggested, 14s definately will not.

    Have a search on ebay, I picked up a set of 5 compo th, for 150 quid, then sprayed them up my self.
