    You will need longer wheel studs and spacers.I fitted 5.5 lotus steels to mine with 185/60/13 tyres and the rubbed big time.Ended up using 15mm spacers.I'm now swapping over to mk2 cortina struts and all the associated parts you need to fit these.Never felt safe with such a large spacer.Would probably be better using a narrower tyre.

    Will also be very tight to the front edge of the front wheel arch
