hello all

I just acquired some 15" 6j alloys and was wondering what size spacers to fit to avoid rubbing on full lock etc i know i will have to roll arches but i dont want to go to thick so just enough clearance really?!

6j will be fine at ET 49 as long as you have standard struts or coilovers that have the platforms above the tyre.

Get a second hand set of struts/springs, will be far far better and far cheaper

Then dont spend money on downgrading suspension :p seriously, badly made coilovers are not worth the cash at all, lots of the cheaper kits dont even fit properly, save up for something decent or stick with half decent struts and springs.
