   i'm thinking of buying these wheels for my blue VTR, what do you think of them, also they are 195/45/16 my car has been lowered by about 10mm so will these still fit straight on without cutting the arches? thanks

   is it true that you cant fit 17s or bigger without cutting the arches? or have i been informed wrongly?

    ok actually found it its been lowered about 50-60mm from the garage its in lol!
    
    so i think i would be struggling to fit 195/45/16s now! unless i can get a lower profile but the tyres are expensive! think mite just get some 15s
