Managed to find some wheels on the ebay which were literally 5 mins down the road. 4x100pcd 15" 19/50/15 tires. 6.5j .40 offset. They were so close and so cheap I just hit the button and there at home know,
60.1 spiggots coming through the post. So waiting to fit maybe next weekend.I realise 195/45/15 would have been preferable ,but the wheels included 4 toyo proxes4, 90% good.
My car is lowered, not sure how much.
Is it likely that these will fit my 5 With no rubbing
Or is it more likely that Im going to have some issues?

Depends how low your car is I guess.

Years ago I ran 195/50/15s on one of mine and it only caught on the rear when I had passengers.

The raider is pretty low at the back, I run 195/45/15's and never had any issues with the rears, front is lowered a fair bit too and only catches very slightly on full lock. ;)

Back of mine is lowered so top of wheel arch is a fraction higher than the top of the rim and I find I can barely get my finger betwen the 195/45/15 tyre and the wheel arch. It doesnt rub but then again ive got the suspension set pretty hard. I think if i tried 50 profile it would definitely cause me an issue on the back.

With the offset, you'll just need to fit them and see.

It will also depend on just how low the rear is and whether or not you have ground off the piece of rear arch that sticks forward near the rear bumper mounting point.

At the front it might catch the inner wing on full lock. Keep an eye out.

Take some pics and show us :)
