   rule of thumb if you dont want any hassle get 15inch wheels that are 195/45. try get direct fit so offset isnt an issue
   
   if you are on a budget vtr wheels will bolt straight on aslong as you have vtr wheel bolts but you will need to cut a little bit on the rear from what i am told, can anyone confirm this

   and on a flat arch 1.1 there likely to scrub due to width as most aftermarkets are 6.5 or 7j and the 195s will scrub
   
   id get 14x6j with 185/55 ect as they will clear no issues

   It all depends what money you wanna spend really mate. I've got some bye alloys on my 1.1 and they look spot on IMO

   Depends what kind of money, can get a cheap second hand set for under 100 or you can spend thousands. Personally id stick with chitron alloys as they are easiest to sort out fitment. But if u need spacers i have some for sale
