probably need spacers and rear arches pulled

The backs wll go on but will defintely need ALOT of arch work if you want to go quite low.

The fronts will fit, but like carl said, may need a 5 or 10mm spacer.

And dont go for 215 tyres. go for 195. 215 will look a bit daft i think and the extra stretch may give you slight more room to play with lowerage

I assume the style you are referring to, is Deep Dish.

It might have been to your advantage to have put "nice". Dirty refers to something that is unclean.

I have 7x16" rims up front, with ET25 and they rub like hell on the N/S/F even with the arch lineing removed.
This is on 215 tyres.
Mostly rubs on anti roll bar.

get yourself some less wide tyres tigz.....195's should help elimininate some of that rub.
