Well, my tires rub on the upper arches and i have a -60mm drop on 15's with a 45 profile tyre.

So i think u might be pushing it too far

I ran 16's on my mk3.5 with a -60mm lowerage. Tyres were 195/45/R16's and the arches and bumpers were previoulsy modded for 17's. Didn't have any scrubbing except on full lock and the handling was great.

Well, did it the hard way Craig. Jacked the car up n swap the rims n tyres. Looks sweet n as far as I know, no mods needed but it's damn close to my struts :( Which is abit worrying. Best part is that, now a 3pt turn becomes n 6pt turns :lol:
