   standard are 13"
   15's on standard height will look fine to me mate. At the end of the day , its your car mate. You decide whether it will look good or not

   Ive seen 15's rubbing on 1.1's unlowered. With one person in the back mind. Id say 40mm would need arch work really.

   Thats a bit stupid! Considering that lowering the car makes it handle better therefore makes it more secure on the road!!! (forget the more secure makes you go faster for a sec ok guys )

    it is rubbing on the outside wheel arch which wil have to be cut/rolled and depending on if you have the right offset or spacer on the wheels it may also be rubbing on the inside of the rear arches.
    
    I had to have my 1.1 arches roled but probably better off doing what most people have done and just cut the buggers off.

    wen i had my 1.1 lowered 35mm with 15's it rubbed on even small bumps in the road with my sub in the boot, or no sub and sum1 in the front. its about 35 quid an arch to get them rolled, u shud only need the back doin tho. i just got my mate 2 cut them bak wif a grinder, thats alright if they do a smooth job.
