I'm on 16's only 60mm all the way, if you want it looking like Brads, you will beed arch flaring and rolling as even i'm scrubbing with my small drop.

my previous 16s had a tyre of 165/40 (stupidly small) and was lowered about 120mm (helpers still in) withthe small height of the tyres it worked out i was about 140mm dropped and 20mm off the floor. would catch everywhere.
slightly bigger tyres now, 185.50 (which i will be swapping as they rub the arches)

195.45/40 on a 16 and you could lower it 100mm fine..
oh and mine didnt have any arch work i just ran loads of camber.
