Default Help please with wheel fitment

Hi. After advice in wheels fitment. I've tried to keep the car standard looks wise , but now I'm starting to hate the 17 and the silly high ride height.

I want to fit some coilovers and wheels that will fill the arch. What offset / width will sit flush with the arch ?

I have found some wheels - 8.5 et44 fronts and 9.5 et23 rear. Will these fit or will they be too aggressive ?

Any advice / input greatly appreciated. Chris

You want to put the same width on all 4 corners...diffs don't like a staggered offset.

Thanks for that I didnt realise that would cause a issue. From reading up 9.5 is too wide anyway....

I just want the arches filled as it looks silly at the minute

Brilliant that's what I was after.

What wheels do you sell in that fitment, and some prices would be good too !
