   Would it be possible to fit 16s on with a 35mm drop without having to do any arch mods? i would prefer 17s but cant to pay out for everything!

   you will get rubbing and need arch mods with 195/45 tyres, if you get 195/40 tyres you should not need any mods and will only get the tiniest bit of rubbing on full lock

   Thanks once again for the info guys....
   Im purchasing my rims shortly...will i need to specify and pay more for lower profile tyres?
   Most wheel deals come with bog standard tyres...
   Im guessing lower profiles will cost a bit bit more..
