running modernlines 9x16 all round on mine! you wont have as much a problem with a 16v as its not as wide track as the vr up front, i have some minor scrub but its running low on 205/40 tyres. need to get my arches rolled as its pretty bad if i have passengers in the back, look in my thread for pics mate :)

I ran et15 215/40 on the rear of my old 16v no problem without arch mods but it did scrub, seen people running et15 on the front but obviously if you want to go lower you will need arch rolling/pulling. Off the top of my head G60greeny ran 9s et15 all round on his old g60 but don't know if he had his arches rolled.

mine are et 15 also! few pics in my thread running low and wide and quite a bit of camber, some people hate and says it ruins the handling, i say i love it and dont notice a difference in the handling, sure you probably would on the track but with the state of the roads these days the difference is n/a imo :)

I have heard a few people talk about wide wheels, aka banded steels http://www.bandedsteels.com/Prices.html

Philuk used them, £100 for 4 arches rolled, or if you feel like having a go yourself borrow an arch roller.

 

I'll be getting my arches rolled fairly soon so give me a shout if you decide to use them, they do discounts for more than 1 car.

I know of someone with an arch roller but I was tempted to make one myself, just need to sort out a set of wheels first. I bought a set, fitted them, loved how they sat, didn't like the wheels :(
