Should be ET49 so you should be fine, just the arches that may need modding depending on how much lows you want

mine was -80mm front and -110mm rear, all i had to do was tap the rear arches out a few mm and fit 5mm spacers on the front to clear the coilover adjusters..

ar ok, i would invest in a pair of 5mm spacers then just to be safe..

you dont want to fit the wheels expecting to go out on a drive but cant because the adjusters are touching the tyres..
