ofset?

what width wheels, what size tyres...and do you want to roll the arches or not
What springs and struts are you using...when you go off the standard you need to consider the whole setup

Sorry but not an easy answer for this one without the facts

sits low on bilsteins, dont wanna roll arches, 8x17 no tyres on yet but guess will have to be low profile. its on 17s at the mo but they look terrible...... tie sooner they are off the better

Even with 40 profile likely you will catch the centre of the arches..especially if lower than 30mm

Eibach do the best 30mm spring..but may need to use 35 profile tyre

What offset are the wheels you have and what car were they off...offset ideally will need to be between 20 and 25 to start with but will be trial and error.. as will differ when have people in back seat or under load when cornering etc
