ET25, though the later cars were ET33 IIRC

I'm being quoted ET38 for the front, surely these will be too far into the arch?

[QBee]

Yes, ET38 will be further into the wheel arches. I think ET38-40 are Ford sizes, so quite easily available, I have some myself!
Are you going for the 245 section tyres for the front? It will handle a lot better on 215 or 225 rubber, which will also help you maintain the nose down attitude that balances the car better.
Simple answer is to go for the narrower tyres and fit a 5mm spacer to bring the ET to 33. Anything larger than a 5 mm spacer will result in needing longer studs too.

Try to get 25-28

Sticking to 225/45/16 on the front as I currently have 16" Estorils all round

Because the original fronts were 7" wide then went to 7.5" hence the et change.

[SILICONEKID345HP]

These bolt straight on 7.5 8.5"
