15" alloys and lowering
Will a mk3 fez sit nicely on 15's with a 40mm drop? with no rubbing etc

It's the best combination to for. Stick to a rim no wider 7J and try and use an ET35 offset. A set of quality 195/45/15 tyres and you will be laughing.

Oranoco's spot on, but watch 7J's as they rub very slightly - ie still an MOT fail!

Yes it will be an MOT fail as it can affect the movement of the wheel and be deemed unsafe.

Et40 and 7J wont even bold on correctly - the inner lip of the alloy with rub on your suspension strut for sure.

not entirely sure on the tyre sizings, i'll have to look. The only rubbing that's occuring is when on full lock
