all help gratefully received....

asap. cheers

also any pics of the same would be great

Stock fenders and 7" ET55 with 195/45/17 and 10mm spacers @ front and 8.5" ET50 with 215/45/17 and 20mm spacers @ rear do fit with stock brakes and IRS arms.

The front 10mm spacers are needed to get back (stock) positive scrub radius (without is neutral) and acceptable turncircle. The rear 20mm spacers are needed for clearance between tire and springplate.

You can use the Wheel Offset Calculator to compare various situations. Very usefull!
