    That's why God invented flares.

    Apparently that God bloke is a wise person. But I don't want to use flares. I want to keep the car stock. Except for the engine obviously...

    If the wheels won't fit, I'll be using them on my daily driver. (Vw Up, do you guys even have those?)

    Et28 should fit easy. I have 15x7 et25 on the fronts 0deg camber which only just rub on big bumps!

    The 15x7 et13 I'm running rub in the rear fairly consistently. Just a word of warning if you plan in keeping stock guards

    There is still a big difference between ET 13 and ET 28. Time will tell if it's gonna be okay. But if they rub, I'm not gonna use them.

    Oh whoops there's a brain fart on my part. Of course et13 would poke more than et28. My mistake

    How about tires? I'm thinking about running 165/50's. That much stretch would make them more likely to fit. But... It does look a bit silly when the car isn't slammed...

    No probs, also running 195/45 so a skinnier tyre would work even better. I have 15x7.5 rears et18 which also only rub on big bumps. Again, if I folded the lips up they wouldn't rub as they only just touch.

    165 is very narrow, especially on a 7 inch rim. Not recommended for daily use because it requires a fair bit of stretch to seal properly.

    Normal tyre size is 195x50x15 so you can go 185 or 45 profile if you need more clearance.
