higher profile tyre to fill up the bigger arches ?? (any pics please of 17's with 60mm spacers + wide arches) ???

Body shop is still only up to dry fit stage at the moment.

I know i have to get the hub centric 60mm spacers and not sure whether to start L@@King for the 18's or 19's for the rear now ?

Bigger wheels or higher profiles wont really help, but fitting bigger profiles on a smaller wheel is definatly the wrong way to go. You will ruin the handling, reduce performance and it will look terrible.

 

You need coilovers to lower the car so that the wheels fill the arches with a widearch kit. Thats what all the widearch guys have to do even with larger wheels.

 

Also to make use of the wider stance as much as possible, you want as wide as wheel as possible, requireing a smaller spacer (or even better - no spacer).

You will need coilovers to reduce the ride hight, bigger wheels and profiles wont get rid of the gap between the tyre and the new wide arch. as for the offset you will need 60mm spaces or wheels with an offset of negitive 31mm

 

Hope this helps
