Yea wrong section but if its 3 stud its a base model i think, although i hear some westys have three studs. Anyhooyou wont have any issues with a 45 or lower profile tyre. You may get some rubbing with 50 pros on full lock i think.

just explained this to another guy on her. 3 studs was only on the base models (Flat back above the rear wheels) so you will more than likely experience rubbing at the back so you will probally have to either take it to a garage or do it urself and cut the lip off under the arch. that way when you have people in the back or go over bumps the wheels want rub against the lip!
garage do it for bout 50 pound, just ask around some body shops!
hope that helps m8 and as far as rubbing at the front on full lock you shouldnt have any problems as long as profile isnt above 50! if they 16 or 17 then you would, the vts wheel are 15 and they dont scrub on lock so you should be fine at the front!
