Thought making a thread about wheel, tyre and suspension setup's would be a good idea to help people when making a choice on buying. (save all the headaches)
It would be great if everyone who has changed any of the above setup could contribute by saying what size Wheels (including Offset), Tyres and what suspension they are running, also whether or not you get any rubbing issues.
This would be a great resource with enough input, and maybe even a sticky
Cheers in advance

i'll put on my set up at the moment but its gonna be completely different in a couple of weeks!
Wheels - Dare V2 16", 4x100pcd, offset i am unsure. Was like £600 just over a year ago.
Tyres - 195/45/16 Budget Federel's
Suspension - Lowered 40mm on gmax springs
No rubbing unless full of fat bastards in the back! and thats only when i go over a big bump or dip.
Ride quality and handling is definitely better with less bodyroll.
Cant wait for new whel tyre and suspesnion set up tho!!!! you'll soon see!
