mine's lowered -60mm on 17's.
I had to have the lip rolled away when they were fitted or they rubbed like buggery

I had 17s on mine for a while with a 55mm drop. It only scrubbed on full lock and evry bump i hit, and when i had more than me in the car, and when my dog sat on the back seat, and when i brake heavily, when accelerate heavily....... come to think of it, it scrubbed near all the time!  :laugh:
I sold the 17s and now sat on sweet polished/black 15s!  :smiley:

 Hi,
  Sorry ive got no pictures yet but my mk 2 has wide 17's with a 65mm drop which needed about an inch or so cutting out of the front wheel arches, but i still get full lock with g60 arches on and no scraping. The back arches needed to be rolled a little bit if you want passengers!

you could always roll the lip up into the arch rather than cut it off. it leaves a edge if you cut it off which could damage your tyre.

If you roll it up, it leaves a rain gutter (water trap) doesnt it?  :huh:
