Default what needs to be done?

Basically, i have my heart set on some rota grid drifts for the scoob, as its going under thek nife soon anyway, what needs to be done to make these fit?

The size i would be looking at is:
17" x 8.0" 5x110 ET35

so as said, what needs to be done? rolled arches etc?

you would need a fair arch roll and pull/cut and run a serious stretched tyre .

coilovers and camber bolts ,

ideally arch extensions mate , 17x9s are just to wide for a standard classic im afraid
