Get 17's mate and drop a sensible amount.
Mine rubs on big bumps with 2 in the back, thats -40mm on Apex springs which only lower about 30mm in reality.
1 rear passenger aint too much to sacrifice for the good looks is it?

You want as close to the standard 49mm offset as poss,not 45.
45mm is the minimum you should go if you dont want your car to tramline badly.
My mate has 15" 38mm offset on his corsa,they rub like hell,it tramlines BADLY,and handles like a dog!!

My 16s have been a pain in the arse, et 42. Had to 'modify' the front inner wings with a large hammer and chop some off the plastic trim on the back.
