Max wheel size on 40mm lowered MK3?

[Andy-H]

Make it 20" and raise the car by 40mm?   

That'll make the ladies wetter than an otters pocket

Got 17inch TT comps on mine. Lowered on coilies but not totally slammed and I get rubbage when throwing it about a bit.

i'm down 60 with 16's and I get rubbing over bigger bumps and backseat riders

Totally depends on tyres and offset

im running 16's and my coilovers were 120mm maxed out without helper springs and cut bumpstops and no rubbing ...only my subframe on the floor
