Hey Ben!

Nice 1er! Exactly same colour as mine, only got mine a couple weeks ago!

Sorry can't help you on photo shopping there, my tech lacks there.

Awesome purchase!

Mark.

Hey Ben

Welcome to the forum.

If you cant get them photo shopped just get the local wheel dealer to put a couple in from of the car on some rubber pads (prefer black) and take a photo direct from the side old school photoshop style .


PS: You will need to look carefully at trying to get 245 on the front. Even with the high ET I think 245 might be an extra squeeze.

I run 225 on 8" with ET 40 on the front, I don't rub but I don't thinking there is much more room under there.

I think if you search more in the tyre section you will see what the coupes are running and get a better idea of the fitment. Not sure if the front is different from the coupe to hatch.

IMHO I definately would not take the wheel guys opinion as correct, not unless he offers a genuine money back guaranty.

I think your 8" ET45 will give you an extra 5mm clearance, so 235 tyres (5mm each side) will give you a similar clearance to the fender. 245 tyre will need another 5mm less clearance than what Blacky has.

I personally think it's touch and go to whether it will rub.
