its 52,1. 15x7 ET20 fits but rubs in the rear. You have to roll the rear wheel arch.

How much of an arse is rolling the rear arch then? Thats just basically widening the arch aint it?

Its pushing the lip in on its self. Theres videos of archs being rolled on youtube. The best way is with a special tool, a bit like a car jack attached to the wheel. Buying the tool is very expensive, and a few body shops I rang up didn't have one or didn't know what I was on about. You also run the risk of cracking the paint on the bend.
