37, but they'll still stick out a mile. My old Oz Exclusives were 39 and that was bad enough lol

Rear beam can be modified to fit rear alloys - remove stub axle and grind off spacer plate and reshim axle position as required - Plates can be welded to rear/inside of stub axle mount to re-enforce mount

The fronts are a bit more tricky - A small amount can be machined off the inner face of the alloy to increase the offset - Expect to pay about 10quid a wheel! - Maybe possible to machine a bit off the front hub/flange and a small bit off the face off the front disc (Where the wheel butts up against)

All these small modifications may allow you to drop it in the weeds !!!! Euro styleeeee

Put a 165/50/vr15 tyre on, give you more clearance and a lovely stretch...

ummm, I run ET38 15x6.5" (195/45/15) no problems on the front and just had to pull the arch a little at the back, no scrubbage lowered 60mm with full interior and install etc. I can't see et37 being to bad, depends how low you want to go.

If they are ronal R10 phase 2's (with the 'ronal' and 'turbo' writing in them. i.e not smooth) then they will be 15x6.5 - think thats the only size they did.
