I currently have OZ F1 Cups, 6x15", ET35
I saw some cool oldschool Ronal Turbos, but they're 7x15" and available in ET37 or 28...
What will fit? My 5 isn't lowered that much... about 4-5cm I think.

And they're also 7x15 mate?
No problems with a lowered car?

Out of the 2, ET28 would be better.

Will stick the wheel(s) out that bit further giving a slightly wider track, hence better cornering ability...maybe

Also means you can possibly then run slightly wider tyres, if that takes your fancy.

Nah I'll stick to 195/45R15... ;)
But won't the wheels touch the inside of the wheel arches for 7J wheels and ET28?

28 might make them more likely to rub on the outside of the arches as they stick out more. I think Russell T has wheels of about that offset. ET37 is more normal, and will rub about the same as your current wheels.
