Alright mate,

u will need a 5mm spacer to take them down to et37. but i would never use a spacers really on a car like that.

The nuts will be the same as well 12mmx1.5


is the car running standard suspention, i ask only cozz if it is u will have to watch the top of the tyre on the under side of the strut on the fronts, thats why it has to be a 215 tyre and the correct offset

Hope this helps

Ben

the car is lowered but by how much im not sure, at the moment it has 17x7 and there is no tyre-arch conflict, mind you the tyers are only 205/40/17 do you think i'll need many arch mods to get them to fit
many many thanks for your help
