if i'm correrct, you are looking at som bbs RM's, 6.5x15 if they were off a golf, they normally wree, the et will be 30, which wont look right. the will sit in the archers too much, but you could alway buy new lips and make them 7.5 or 8 or what ever you want really!!

correct, they will sit even closer in the wheel arch clost to the calipers and suspension legs, with 205/55 tyre it may catch. you will have to run a lower profile possibly and maybe 5mm spacers on the front.

lops are about Ԛ£100 each, then you gota account for bolts, Ԛ£1 each, 35 per rim
it can get expensive
8 all round will be ok, any more you may have to roll arches if you lower the car
