yes mate, depending how much lowered (if lowred at all) may not fit properly wil dig into arch if too low! you would probably need about 5mm spacers on the front too!

Looking good on the A's. I tried my brother's borbets on my touring but used the flat centre's. Think the original centre's suit the touring more.

Borbet A's need atleast 5mm spacer on front (9J, not had any 7J so can't comment) as the shape of them makes them catch the front calipers.

The rears should be okay if you roll the arch as much as possible, and don't drop more than 40mm.

Any lower and you'll catch the arch if you have more than 2 people in the car.

Mine are 9J, and my drop is apparently 60mm, but i can still have a full car and not catch on the arches (but the bottom of the car will scrape on bumps :roll: )

I really like Borbet As, but not so much on a white car.
