It does fit with 30 series tires up front and 25 series rear, which are hard to find. Please don't do it. Not only does it hurt performance, but also looks tacky.

I have just ordered Eibach springs and dampers 30mm drop and anti roll bar.
Staggered on 19's by how much ? What Tyres do you have to run then the normal 35's and 40's ?

Thanks for your help... by the way any body know how much bhp you can get from the 500 with a remapp and recommended makes.

Regards
Ian.

Wheels should be 19x8.5 and 19x9.5. Tires are 235/35/19 and 265/30/19. You might need to roll your fenders with the drop.
