thanks, not sure on how low but its slammed nearly all the way down on the coilover at the front with the back adjuster cup all the way down got arb's 2, it does not catch the arches in any way but is slightly catching on the front coilovers on full lock needs a litle spacer and the offset is et35

But, I'm afraid the tyres ruin it for me. :( They leave massive gaps in the arches!

I agree with above- the wheels look awesome and suit the car down to the ground, but the wall of the tyre is too small- leaves too much gap, eg in the top pic you can see it. if the tyres were 2225/40s it would prob look better as there's a lot more tyre to fill the arch. but overall, love the wheels

A little bit there (nothing too tragic, though & nothing that some 225/40's wouldn't sort out ;)), but mainly, I was thinking at the bottom of the arches, near the floor. ;)
