From a quick search it says 8.5 x 19 ET30 all round with 3mm spacers upfront.

Always liked that Red LCR :)

*Forgot to add, it's sixpot's car that were talking about.

And anthracite alloys for silver will suit it well.

If it needs 3mm spacers on the front to clear the Brembos' then I'd consider putting at least as big again spacers on the rear to balance the handling if they'll fit, say 10 or 15mm.

The general view is the LCR benefits from increasing the rear track more than the front.

3mm spacers up front, only because the inside edge of the wheels was just touching onto the body of the coilover adjuster ring , ch's clear the brembo's, no problem
