I have found some wheels I want but need confirmation they will fit as the website says they dont but the internet says they will
They are 17" x 8" 4x100 with ET25, my car will be lowered about 60mm I think

I have the same size on my racecar and from memory they did fit, tyre size depending of course, I may have had to do a little roll of the rear arch lip, it is a facelift car, pre facelift cars have more of a lip on the rear arch. I have since spaced them out a further 15mm which required arch work

List of sizes and fitment on the Zone wiki, not all have ET figures but as Dan said they could, a few 16 x 7.5J ET25 listed as fit so it could be close.
