depends on how far you want them to fill the arches i use et35 with 2mm spaces and could go more.

Thanks forthe tips, The reason I ask is I might be swapping my 4x4 saph for a 3 door but have just bought some new wheels and tyres that I would like to keep if they fit allright I would prefer them not to sit too far into the arches though so might have to use spacers.
