have a look around and then choose what wheels you want then ask us how much work as you will know the offset then.

Anyway you have got one of the cheapest alloy places in the country by you try wheelpower, they advertise in your local free ads down there in devon. :lol:

depends what wheels and what offset they are, say what wheels they are and we can tell you the offset or there abouts.

right if there OZ's you are likely to struggle with the non rubbing as they are low offset, there is a rumor that they are doing wheels on et47 but this is yet to be proven.

Due to the low offset they you will need the arches rolled and maybe the inner arches knocked in if its lowered 60mm.

You will also lose a certain amount of handling.

Just for a tip you want to aim for around ET49 or near there the OZ's will be about et38.

(et = offset)

as i said on another post

get alloys where the spokes goto the edges i would, they always look huge on a car.

try to stick to the offset as i drove a colleagues modified car the other day and the drive was TERRIBLE i could so tell he had wrong wheels on! he said hmmmmm need wheelspacers - i said hhmmmmm u think!!!!!!
