If you can then you must have huge arches, cos ive got 15's with 195/45's and they scape like do-do, on the arch lining, and when i have people in the car.

Yes, they will go on, might need to space them out at the rear and you might need to shave your arches slightly.
Hold out for a set of 16" with 40 / 45 profile they will look much better.

sure will but as already said arch mods will more than likely be needed.

my 16" mondeo rims fit fine but ive got 195/45's, still needed a 5mm spacer on the back though :grin:
