Got a 5 door hatch, looking for some banded steels. Ive been thinking about getting some 7.5fronts and 8.5backs made up but am thinking isit going to clear everything?

Its lowered but not great amounts the wheels will be 14''s with 195/45/14 tyres?

please don't, unless you really want to go for a very expensive way of wrecking the handling.

Vw bmw wheels with offset around et 28/25 they'll do the trick..

You wouldn't need camber with a set of bmw or vw wheels in that offset, they will fit better than the intended banded steels..

why spend £500+ on rims for a daily driver??

you could get some 6j14s off a cavalier & fit 165 tyres... then you get the banded look on a dead cheap rim...
