Ive seen a set of 18" BBS CH reps (i know i know why bother buying reps..........etc) and they are 5 x 112 et 45. Will these fit ok even when i get round to lowering it. I dont know what et i should be running?
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

what width? I would assume 8" most reps are, they will fit fine and fill the arches much better

you may have to remove the screw and tuck the front wheel arch liner depending how low you go, but no major dramas

As said by the guys above, no issue with fitting 8" wide wheels with ET45. I had some 8.5" ET45 rims on my old MK5 and it was seriously slammed - no rubbing etc.
