I dont mate but someothers might! you could always get em speratly but prob looking about £120 a corner for sum decent rubber!
Not sure if you could lower it with them wheels on though as they are so wide they will hit the arch!

i could have a problem there then, because the vaux dealerhip i got it from said it had been lowered with the imscher suspension after manufacture:(

from what i can see on the schmidt website, the rear wheels are wider, 9.5 i think, the fronts being 8.5. will both of these sizes fit?, bearing in mind the car is lower. also will the wheels stick out from the bodywork.....? isnt this illegal:?

thanks.

Wheels sticking out from the arch IS illegal mate!

Even if you got a spot on offest you will be pushed to get any lower than the irmy suspension...altho it isnt that drastic a drop IIRC!

so would the 8.5 front and 9.5 rear be too wide for the car? legally.

I think it would mate!

I have ET49 17"s on that are only 7" wide and they just miss the inner arch!!!!

You may be best asking Martin C
He has a nice set of euro's on his and I know he has seen loads whilst browsing the web.
