    You'll probably want to roll the edge up so they dont skim the tyres. The back might be a bit of a tight fit if you don't roll the arch out a bit
    You'll want spacers at the front to clear the calipers, you should be fine at the back.

    Depends how low you're planning on going and camber

    Pretty much sums It up dude! Was hoping that it was the case, can play around with rubber width anyway. Any pics there by te way, can't remember the colour of your car, silver is it?

    @Matt, appreciate the response and point taken on height, will need to roll that horrible tyre killer lip for sure though

    No problem. I have 18x9.5 et40 on the back of my R32 and with it lowered there was no chance of survival for tyres without some rolling so I can only assume it would be worse with et35
