I am sorry guys to have to ask but wheel fitment is not one i can do!
(give me an engine swap, fuel system and turbo set up to do any day!!!)

I know which wheels i want but cant work out if they will fit ok and what sort of tire size to go with. i am also lowering by 35mm front, 30mm rear on TEIN Springs.

These are the wheels i am after, any advice on if they will fit ok and what size tire to go with would be great. happy to have a small amount of stretch on the tire also.

4 x 100 stud pattern

Based off those specs, the wheels should fit fine. I've got XXR 522s which are 15x7 +22? with no issues. I'm not lowered, but there shouldn't be any issues either even with a 1-2 inch drop. On the wheels I have the stock 185/60r15s, but I have fit a 205/45r17 in there with no issues. I'd go 205/55r15s for tires, they are going to be a little bigger in overall diameter, but it should give you better tire options.

You will be fine, that was my set up before I rolled my fenders and went with wider rims.

Worst case scenario you can get camber bolts up front to give yourself some very minor negative camber. I suspect you won't have to as I had no issue with rubbing on the track with a wider set up (+24 offset on 205 wide rubber) and I had a moderate -2.5 up front

The 38's will work well with the drop and 205mm rubber.

If you're more into "stance", go 15x7 offset 30 with 175/50/15 tires.
