...under standard arches (not M3), if so what size and any pictures available?

I've seen a set for sale but they're only 7x15 and think they maybe a little on the small side as I want to really fill the arches.

Cheers chaps

Friend of mine put BBS RS on his sport recently, he had to use hub adapters for 4 to 5 stud so that pushed them out abit further still. they only rub on the back a little though afaik.
