Well all i need is the rings tbh and I can get them custom made from a dealer on ebay for about £20 so its ok in terms of that.
I fitted the wheels on the front last ngiht too just to check the Centrebore. I took the little alfa centre cap off to look and they fit with 1mm to spare as i thought. So just need the wobbly bolts and my new suspension which I am going to order on Monday so I'll have my Coilies and wheels hopefully all will be fitted next saturday or so, weather pending

You defo need the spigott rings or you could have a serious accident mate as you know what happened to mine. The centrebore takes some weight off the nuts you see, if its not sitting on the hub then all the weights on the nuts, which could break.
Any tyres/alloys centre will be able to sort you out. Its usually black plastic and sits in between the centre hole of the rim and CB ring of you hubs.
Just get 4 rings and the wobbly nuts and your
mate!

That also depends on how low you wanna go. if they're 7-7.5J width then you'll need 195/45/15's. If you plan on going very low which'll cause scrubbage then you need to find a thinner profile or get some stretch. For example getting stretch will reduce the 195 and thinner profile will reduce the 45.
How low you wanna go depends on personal situation. However, go as low as possible and maybe a bit further!

well the wheel is only 6j and where I live its not that advisable to go really low. I was thinking like 50 to 70mm tops. Cos at the bottom of my road theres a killer speed bump
I was hoping that 195/50s would be ok what you guys think? If need be I'll get the 45's tho
