i've been offered some 15's in ET48 instead of my current ET38. I want 2 use my current 195/50 tyres. Just wondering if these will allow me to lower it 60mm or will i need 2 get some 195/45 's ??? cheers ppl !!!!

your closer to et49 so i would've thought that this would make it possible for you to get it closer to your car.

Should be fine. Ride comfort should be better with 195/50s than 195/45 too... they just look crap.

if they r 6.5 then u will be ok, if 7 or 7.5 / larger then high offset ET45+ will foul on sus/ inner arch.
On my 16's, ET45 7.5" wide the rears used to rub continuously on the inner arch where it bows out to clear the spring. I malleted it and its been fine since.
