If your gonna get bigger wheels then make sure you buy the right spacers for them.
For example I'm running 225/45/17 tyres and measuring the space from the tire to the arch I'm gonna buy 10mm for the fronts and 15 mm for the rears.

Yeah slam it now!

Here is mine when I first got her lowered, on standard wheels before I got new ones..

My 16s with 15mm spacers all round i want 20s on the rear though, no adjuster on the rear and fronts leveled out. Multi storey carparks are not fun lol
