iv got 17's and only the back rub when i have people in the back over bumps and stuff.. not sure how low it is tho..

jsut a small question.. mine is a 1.4 and the exhaust runs under the sump, so it is the lowest point perfect place to be smashed off if i dropped it any lower. but i am definatly into the 16" look. would this drop it by much?? i dont really want it any lower. also i HATE the look of fat tyres.. so that would drop it more..


on the otherhand.. how hard is it to re-route the exhaust?? or it that crazzzzy times?

[robz]

well i was going to say that the tyre size would compensate for the rim size difference, but if you are wanting low profile tyres on 16's, will that not put the speedo out a little?
not sure about re-routing the zorst, sounds like a pain in the arse tbh!

i reckon you'd be looking at custom piping:)

[karlos28]

oo that sounds expencive..

yes i see your point with the low profiles on 16's i think il find one of those stupid speed bumps that you have to straddle and see ho wmuch clearance there is.

Should be not any lower as the 16" will be running lower profiles but will end up the same height.

[karlos28]

the 17's now are on low profiles. but then.. whats half an inch guna do?

[tobybrennan]

seriously, if you wanna go low!!!

wack on some 14's or 15's, cause you wont get that low with 17's!:)
wheels will be in arches but splitter still like a foot off the floorr
