RE: lowering and size of wheels?

PCD 5x100 ET35 Now pic a wheel 17-19" You can play with ET value to have the wheel sticking out more or buy spacers. I use Eibach springs but would recommend KW variant coilov ers if you want the complete package without spending a fortune otherwise Bilstein PSS9's
