All depends on the offset close to et35 as you can and it will be fine

I'm using a 195/45/15 tyre on a 7J ET35 rim using 55mm springs. No rubbing issues as such but the car is far to low and isn't nice to drive. Roll on my new 25mm springs :wink:

mines lowered 60mm with 195 45 r15, but rubbing isuses, but it aint a great drive that low. so im gunna get some30-40 lowering springs soon.

in fast ford or proformance ford, the other month i think it said something about how to work out the offset. well there was a topic on offsets. ill try and find the mag, and see what it says.
