No they weren't!!
you got camber adjusters?
No?

then yes they do sit in further

But they still sat inside anyway, and the difference isn't noticable, so even if I wasn't lowered, I'd still be asking this question!!

If Si-import's wheels are 8" and et10 then the equivalent in 7.5" would need to be et04, 7" would need to be et-03 to achieve the same external broken suspension look.

The sum...

8" = 203.2mm, 203.2/2 = 101.6, 101.6-10 = 91.6mm

7.5" = 190.5mm, 190.5/2 = 95.25, 95.25-91.6 = 3.65mm
7" = 177.8mm, 177.8/2 = 88.9, 88.9-91.6 = -2.7mm

They were before I lowered it!

Nath, I understand that, but Si's wheels stick out further than the arch, and have stretched tyres fitted. I'm after the tyre sitting properly on the rim and the rim being in line with the arch.

mine are 7j et40 and they are almost there! probably need a 5mm spacer to sit totally flush

Gayno I found this a few weeks ago, I'm not entirely sure how accurate it is, but if you know your current wheel specs then I'm sure you can play around with it and use this to figure out roughly what you're after?

EDIT: Also I can't remember who it was (Maybe Dbo?) but someone with a 4G said they had some wheels that were I think 7" wide with offset 42 and that was flush with the arch.

So you don't really want anything like what Si-import has?!
