Doubt it, Montreal's aren't mega wide with a low offset, should think you could slam it tbh. Tyre width might become a problem, but tbh they should tuck nicely.

Post by: lemski on 22 November 2010, 20:49: Depends how low you want it. I would measure from arche to top of tread on back and then get spring damper set up. Of go all out on coilies and just take a day to play with the stance mate
