I think it might call for 45/35 or even 45/30 (front/rear), now the gap at the front is massive compared to the gap at the back.
And those wheels DO look nice irl too! Seems like the offset's close to 35, right? Brings the tyre nicely out, unlike e.g. the standard 49mm offset 17" Nervasports (which, other than the offset, are greating looking wheels).
BTW, I just ordered a height-adjustable H&R kit so I can fine-tune the gaps to a mil!

Wheel offset explained
Yes the H&R kit is coilovers. Mine was 959 EUR through fleaBay, which translates roughly to 709,64 GBP.

I've noticed that you have the exactly same engine like me,an 1.4 16V 98 hp, I'd like to know if your fuel consuming increased after the 18 " wheels, driving feelings,hardness...etc
Thanx
hi mate!
it still drives like a dream. i can tell you that the ride is a bit harder. but only a bit, it's noticable but definatly not uncomfortable or in anyway annoyin'. definatly not harsh.
as for the fuel consumption... ive only had the wheels on since saturday so i couldn't really say much. but my car usually sits at a steady 28.8mpg, which is low i know, but most of my drivin' is short journeys in start and stop city drivin' so i dont get the most outta mine as it is. however today its down to 27mpg form 28.8mpg. i dont tho if thats anything to do with the wheels tho.
