As per title guy's have a set of 8x17" alloy wheels, which will possibly be shod in 215/40/17 tyres, the car has a 60/40 drop, and the wheel offset is ET30, the arches are standard(not rolled), my question is: will I have issues with this setup?, will I require spacres or the wheels?, wheel std arches be upto the job?, many thanks

these should fit without an issue, the front may require 5mm or 10 mm spacers. the e30 offset is meant to be 15 - 25. they will not rub and they should be fine with standard arches. hope this helps, any more info just ask.
