Your Your car looks extremely low....I have lowered my 87 Carrera, a little below Euro height, but yours looks even lower. I have 7 x 16 Fuchs on the front and 9 x 16's on the rear. I run 205 x 50 on the front and 245 x 45 on the rear. There isn't much room left in the rear with my set-up. You need to talk to some wheel/tire guys to confirm what you can fit with your car at it's low hieght.
