I´ve read that many people here are using FK coilovers and have had trouble to make them fit. I´m thinking of getting new wheels and those coilovers soon.
So what would be the ideal ET and width of a 15" wheel with FK coilovers ? I´m thinking about a 60-65mm drop. Will ET 42 hit the strut ? ET 40? 6,5" wide ?
I can´t use spacers. It won´t pass mot with those here. So need to get it right with one try, and with minor arch mods.

you should get away with the right offset(et45) if you only using 15" wheels...
get tyres with a nice beveled edge like conti sport contacts...

OK, sounds good. I was prepared for some cutting and welding
Will 195/50 be fine, or would you suggest 195/45 ? I have two sets of 50s so would be nice if they could be used.
