rubbing and lowering can vary between car's (partly due to a mk3 bodyshell issue)....and i would say the vento pictured has had the inner arches trimmed? My old 8v rubbed with 205's at -40mm with an et33! but some 195 tyres sorted that

and give the poster a pm to find which rims they are  :wink:

Lowered springs are also stiffer because they have less travel. Also I have 205/40 tyres on 17's and have no rubbing issues and mine is at least 80mm down.

jamex are good.

Cheers guys.

Still want to know what them wheels are.... anyone??
Colourcon Gaz PM'd me about them, he cant find any indication of what the wheels are, all he knows is they are as follows....

The rears are 9.5j x 16 (with stretched tyres)
the fronts are 7.5j x 16

With NO Rubbing issues.

Anyone know where i can get them or a similar looking wheel??

Cheers

you get what you pay for so paying a little extra means you will have some nice rims!

id personally say 16's are best for a low wide look :evil:
