17x40 will fit snug (this is what i run), there is a place near me that reckons they can get 18x35's on ?!!! but i doubt this as there is a nats twang of clearance between my outer arch lip (thats been rolled *cough* flattened by me !) LOL and loaded up with 4 people the car will scrub ever so slightly under hard cornering, its not lowered in the rear either.

[corollagti16]

so do i need to mod the arches to fit 17x40s on it

[Unity Jon]

that depends on how knackered your suspension bushes are and how fat your passengers are, but probably not

[corollagti16]

sounds gd enough 4 me 17s it is then !!!!!

what is the correct ET for my car...... ??

i would roll/flatten your rear arches its not hard just do it a bit at a time.you only need to do aprox the top 12" of the arch tip warm the paint up first to stop cracking.also if you lower thecar as the fronts can rub ever so slightly

[Unity Jon]

the correct ET ? probably about 18 secs in stock form ???? LOL....

the wheel offset is 38mm and the PCD is 100.

My front left rubbed ever-so-slightly on the inner arch liner at full lock but not a worry as its plastic, this was due to a misaligned front end i reckon as after i had lowered and sorted the front suspension it didn't rub.

18 secs lol with my mods i ran a 13.9 @107.7mph last sunday at santa pod if i can loose some wheelspin should get down to low 13's :P :D
