I'm not mad on the camber thing.
Oddly I'm going to say Euro is the inspiration IMO. I've seen a couple done that way in the past and the look suits them. Smoothed like a baby's bee-hind, hard slam, tickle the arches to clear some mega-dish rims. etc.

15's....best choice of tyres all day as well as the best prices. 14's are great, but more limited in tyre choice. 13's start getting expensive for the better sizes. I'll see if I can get you a set of cheap coilies. I think he's still got them. Will let you know tomorrow  |

If you want to go low & wide I would be heading straight for 9x14 with 195/45/14's
Some of the Vauxhall 14" rims look quite cool and also have a really good offset (approx 40) which gives you more room to go wide.
Bring it down to A52 when you've got the wheels sorted and we can sort the arches for you.
I'll give you a call tomorrow.
