Do I buy 15" alloys & lowered 35mm? or can I get away with 16" with 45profile tyres dropped 35mm? if i can dont want to spend the extra for 40profile.

With OZ 35th:

if you put 16s on you will get wheel scrub on full lock which is an mot failure.

You wont be ablr to get away with a 45 profile on 16's lowered 35mm. They rub on full lock when not lowered! You will need 40 profiles. Or just go for 15's.

if you dont want any hassel, go for 15's with a 45 profile tyre and drop i, you could go lower than a 35mm drop with that size allot and tyre if you wanted.

dont really like them wheels mate but its up to you.

you can go 35 on 16's but will need to do some arch work and even then they might scrub.
16" with 40 profiles would be alot better
or
15" with a 60mm drop imo
