Just fitted some 205 gti wheels to my sax but theyre scraping the arches on full lock and with fat people in the car. I currently have 185/55/15 tyres on, which tyres would I need to stop this? Also I'm planning on lowering it 40mm soon if that changes what I need.
Cheers

Will that stop the rubbing even when I lower it mate?

In theory yes if you have the disc rear beam. If you have the 1.4/1.1 the thack width on the rear beam is slightly narrower so you may need to space them 5-10mm each side

Or 20mm spacers for some proper stance, aye Craig?
