15" Aloy on 60mm lowering ?
First i would like say sorry if this topic have been covered many times. Tryed to search but didnt find what i was looking for
I have lowered my Fiesta 1.8iS 60mm (full suspension kit) and would like to know if it is possible to fit 15" aloy's without any problems?
The wheel size is 195/50-15 if it helps
Regards
Dexa

195/50/15 will scrub like a cheap Bic™. Really want a 195/45/15 tyre to ensure clearance and the rim wants to be no wider than 7J with an offset of ET35.
From a driving point of view it's worth changing the springs to a not so harsh a drop (30mm). As I have found changing from a 60mm to a 30mm drop it pays dividends to the handling and ironically the car seems to have gained mechanical grip as well due to the corrected geometry

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience

go for -45 max as 60mm breaks your frickin back and doesnt do much for the car eitther. -40 minimises chance of over wearing tyres, scrubbage and damge to tyres by arches
my cars lowered 60mm and i regret it
