Default New wheels on my B3 90Q20V in Perth WA

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/58201/new_wheels01.jpg"></center><p>New wheels are 15x7 ET37 with 205/50 R15 tyres.
It has lowered factory sports suspension.
Any experience on whether I am likely to have problems fouling front guards please?

Cheers

Default aren't your wheel and tire specs the same as OE? I can't keep the cq and 90q90v sedan ET straight

so I can never remember which is 37 and which is 42 or whatever. I know your wheel width and diameter, along with tire dimensions, are OK.

have you experienced any rubbing at full lock in forward or reverse at low speed?

Default Re: aren't your wheel and tire specs the same as OE?

OE spec here in Oz was 15x6 ET42 with same size tyres. The lesser number offset means the wheels sit out further - 5mm or 1/4 inch approx. This plus the extra 1 inch width means they overall sit 3/4 inch further out on outer edge (allowing 50% of the 1 inch extra width) - Ok I'll stop now as I think everyone gets what I am trying to say.
Have not felt any fouling yet but have been taking it very easy.
