Thank you. Took some very careful consideration. Wheels/tyre combos aren't easy to choice.

Need to enjoy them whilst I can before they come off in the winter

Hello,

I would say: if you want to drive fast you should increase the camber to get more grip on the front axle. If you do so you have of course enough space for ET35. If you drive slow you must not increase the camber but you might also get no problem with ET35. If you drive fast without increasing the camber (or better... if you try driving fast :evil: ) ET35 might be a little bit tight.
