Fronts will be fine.

Rear you'll need the arches rolled, -1.5 agrees camber minimum, nothing wider than a 215/45 and you may find you'll need to raise the car slightly if it's still catching after all that.

While we are on the subject of 7.5" wheels.

Does anyone know if 7.5" ET45 will fit standard arches with 225's?

Cheers

Yes they will mate, my assetto gara's are that offset and they are fine, lowered about 20-30mm.

Forgot to say thats with 225 RE070

Thanks for the reply man, how much is it to roll rear arches any idea? Also it's for a swap so I suppose driving up and swapping them driving back with them is out of the question?

Do you know what size tyres are on them?

Think it's £50 a side, it isn't hard to do as it's just the lip that needs folding. Have a look to see if it's already been done as quite a lot have.

That's not too bad I suppose but I would still rather avoid it, but no I clean my arches weekly and they are definitely not rolled lol

You may get away with driving it home then but personally I wouldnt risk it. I once had a clio that I put wheels on with too wide an offset. Burst a back tyre and damaged the rear wing on the 1st hard corner. I was lucky the road was quiet

Yeah that's sufficiently put me off lol I think I will just wait for some et42+ to come along, I'm just struggling to find a second hand black set of wheels in the spec I need with half decent tyres, just have to be patient!

 

[DC5Curn]

You will be fine with a rear arch roll mate. I just wouldnt advise driving on them before its done though 👍
