Does anyone know if rubbing or not depends on how much the car is lowered or something to do with tyre and wheel size/offset or something?   I always assumed if you lowered too far you would get rubbing, so you guys with 15's that rub - just how low are your cars?!? 

And with 17's is there an amount i could lower my car without having to roll the arches? 

Cheers as always.

rubbing has as much to do with lowering and wheels size as it does with offset. i think you can get away with a 35-40 mm drop on 17's if the offset is et35 and you have a sensible tyre size.

mine only rubs at the back when i've got my 8 x 15's on and thats because you can't even see the tops of the tyre, thats how low mine is!!!
