just had a long winded chat with TC regarding this, we came to conclusion that 19's 8" width and offset of ET50ish would be a fairly safe bet.
I ran this in CH's on the ED30 lowered with a little rubing on the front arch liner that is easily fixed.
He ws offered an 8.5 with ET45 and we decided this would probably be pushing a bit clearence wise and could also run into some clearence issues with his coilovers too

I was quite proud of that, I'm a bit of a numpty when it comes to puters so that took some effort :embarrassed:

:grin: i know mate i am the same i just get stevePG to fix things for me.
Its not as easy as people think being stupid, though people tell me i was born for it. :drinking:

Got to agree with Gaz the size and offset of the CH's is the best choice, once the arch liner screw is removed (sitting on H&R's) I have had no problems and ride height it spot on.
Afterall you would expect BBS to know what they were doing as this size is what they recommend for the mk5 ;)

Another :happy2: for BBS, i think BBS CK are 8 x 19 ET44 which would look well :smiley:

My 19''s are now on Flora's (markymark) car but I did have problems with rubbing on the rear wheel arch (not the liner) as mine has Eibach Sportlines. From memory the ET was 41? :happy2:
P.S. No man love required thanks Ben :P :santa:
