Just had a bloke search for some wheels for be and he came up with a set of 15x8 +15 BBS replicas...
Any chance that they would fit on a MK2 2 door unarched, standard suspension?
I would hope to run 205 tyres on the front and possibly 225, or 205 on the rear.
 
Cheers,

By my calculations, backspace will be about 129mm, which is very likely to touch the front struts at full lock.  The distance from the face of the hub to the outer edge of the wheel will be about 99mm, which will sit further out than the inside lip of the wheel arch, so body mods would also be required.  205s are quite skinny on a wheel of that size, so the wheel will protrude past the tyre for that English look.  225s would put the tyre edge at about the same point as the wheel itself.

Yep for sure looks like it might be a bit tight, not keen to do too many body mods, so I may just keep looking, I think end goal is 15x6.5 at +12 running 205's..
 
Thanks for the help Flighter...

15x7 ET12 is a nice fit and pretty easy to find - bought some of that size myself.  Tyre size to suit is 195/50R15.
