LS offset Contessas will fit, needs some caliper modification but not a big deal.

I've seen 10x4.5 out of the UK that will fit without flares

These aren't the exact ones I was thinking of, but should still fit:
http://www.midlandwheels.com/Shop/P-2375-4.5-x-10-JBW-Minilight-Silver--165/70x10-Yokohama-A008.html

Offset is +21 so would sit roughly 15mm further in than a standard superlite

10x5 Superlites will fit without flares if you have enough negative camber... :P

they'll fit but not with disc brakes on the front, also 165 tyres wont fit at the rear, you have to use 145's or spacers, then with spacers they'll hang out the guards a bit.

Get some 4.5" LS wheels. Some bloke was banging on about how good they are a while back.

Yeah, I'm not too keen on the look, really.

As long as the tread pattern is in, it's ok..

Hmm...
