My 18's are 7.5j with a et45 and run a 215 tyre!

On full lock to the left there was slight rubbing on the arch liner but only slight and also they rubbed slightly on the very top of the arch when you had some lock on and hit a bump etc!

That was with Moto-Build lowering springs though!

Et 45 is the same as std so no problem there! The higher the number the further in it will sit.

I'm currently trying to fit 17" et30 with a 9j.... A lot of arch tweeking

you can fit 9j but with et 34-36 on a mk2 removing and seam welding metal arches and removing lip on plastic kit.

PM me if you need more info
