Wouldn't say its impossible mate but i wouldn't want to be the one trying it.

To be honest i wouldn't think the rears will be that much hassle, but the fronts will no doubt give you a lot of grief

yeah sweet.........I know the ideal offset would be 35 or so but i guess thats 1.5cm that i would have to trim off the kit if needs be.

Reckon i could get a 225 on the front and a 245 on the rear with that offset??

as i said to u, its all about the offset and how low you want to go.

i've got 215's on the front (changing to 225's)

and 265's on the rear.

i can go pretty low on my 3dr due to the arch work, but probably going for the same as martin had it. maybe a bit lower all round, as i've done a bit more arch work
