Okay heres the situation, I want to stick a set of 16" OZ Super T's with 195-45 tyres on a 5 door MK3. How much would I be able to lower it? Any recomended kits?

Thanx in advance.

how much you lower it will depend on your car as some ppl find they are perfectly ok and some find that their tyres rub the arches!! as you going for 16's i'd recommend that you roll your arches to be on the safe side.

any recommended kits??.... well this depends on how much money you wish to spend first.

I reckon 35mm sholud be about right for handling purposes, tho u already got 'em now so no worry!

Just wondered what offset it is for 16" wheels? is it still 35
