mines lowered 60mm, and it rubs 3 up on 13"s! :mad:

every cars different so the only way to find out is to try it! :sad:

try getting a couple of fat blighters in the back and see if theres any contact. if the wheel looks like it 'll clear the arch then you should be able to drop it into the weeds! :grin:

chances are thought it'll rub like a dog on heat! :sad:
