Im wondering whether or not 60mm on 15" wheels will a) look to low, b)rub like a c*nt! (On 205/55 tyres, 7.5"wide wheel)
If anyone has any pictures of a car on 15's lowered 60 all round! id like to see.Idealy cars quite 'standard' looking so i can gauged a bit more of the actual height compared to somthing with a kit.
Cheers

it's gonna be too low and scrape on everything, put stiff srings on the back and that arse end will be snapping out at you every time it rains regardless of how slow you drive it.

Si316, karan, do you boys get any rubbing at all?Im going to be running on Ronal LS's so their basically 15" crossspokes (205/55) just 7.5 rather than 6" wide. The only time ive heard of rubbing is if people go 60mm all round, rather than you guys at 60/40, or if they use very wide tires.

How low do you recomend going on 7 1/2" x 16" rims, probably only going to be be on lowering springs initialy on the standard M-Tech suspension.
