Yes, indeed, my mistake. I've edited my post

I was told these would fit even with a slight lowering. Not totally convinced though.

It sounds you had a look at APEX wheels :-)
Compared to the 8x18ET30 stock, the 8.5x18ET35 will be 1mm more on the oustide, which is fine, but will be 11mm more on the inside which might be an issue to clear the suspension strut. From what I saw on the web, using 5 to 10mm spacer with those should not be a problem.
Compared to the 9x18ET41, the 9.5x18ET33 will 13mm more on the ouside, and again, from what I saw on the web, there should be no issue, even when lowering the car.
Anyway, I'll perform some tests, when I get my car, with the stock 8x18ET30 and 9x18ET41 wheels and several spacers. Since I will lower the car and as it is not allowed in Switzerland to have any rubbing issues, I'll post the results confirming what works or not. Then I'll decide for aftermarket wheels.
Cheers
