I have just aquiered a set of smoor 13x8" wheels and as the 5 is still out at my folks place i have no way of test fitting them to the car. what i need to know is will i need to run a spercific size tyre so that thay dont do any damage to the arches? i would like a bit of a stretched look (dont hate me) as thay will only be for day-day use and i will have diffrent set for track use.
Oh and if you have any pics of a 5 on deepdish 13x8" i would love to see them :)

that tungy one on the ATS classics looks awsom, very similer to the look im going for especily with the lhd rear light cluster. but it has definatly had the rear arches cut which i dont want to do ia its a phase 1 with the original black body kit.

I ran 13x8 ET6. To get anywhere near this, or Adey's effective offset (with spacer), you are going to have to hack the rear arches about.
