55s... Or 50s if you're tight and don't like ride comfort. Only go for 45s if your 306 is actually a 106.

I'd go 50 or 55 depending which is cheapest lol unless it's stupidly low, then maybe consider 45

Cheers for the input, its a standard height d turbo, will hopefully lower it soon, 50's it is as they are cheaper anyway, only asked as ther wheels had 45's on when I got them

I will likely be cutting some of my arch liner or spacers on the rear as the drivers side leans a bit lol

Depends on the tyre shoulder profile as well - different tyres are measured in different ways. Some have rounded shoulders, others are more square.
+1 on the beam rebuild as it won't handle very well. Last thing you want to do is hit a catseye and it spit you into the opposite carriageway (my 205 did this to me after it was stood for a year and the bearings collapsed).
