What size alloys with what size lowering springs?

Hiya Lads & Lass's

I have a 1.4 MK3 Ryder, in Red.

And I want to have 17" alloys on there, but have it low enough so it looks tight. What would you recommend, from the following:

16" = 50mm
16" = 60mm drop

17" = 40mm drop
17" = 60mm drop.

Also I'm really liking the Wolfrace Street Octane alloys, think they'd suit my car really well, what do you think?

if youve got 17in alloys i would lower it 60mm,
as it just doesnt look low enough when you lower 40mm,
ive 17in wheels on my mk3 lowered 60mm on ajustable coilovers and it looks sweet,
i would like it lower but ive got kids so im not aloud,
just a tip for you make sure you use 205 40 17 tyres or you will rub on arches.
hope this helps

I've got mine lowered 60mm on 16's if that helps...



no scrubbing but bear in mind you have to get the offset right as well

Thanks for the help guys, I got mine lowered 40mm, but I wish I went 60mm, but my ins said they wont alloy any lower than 40mm.

With Rear lights, Side Skirts, Lowering, Alloys and CAT 1 Toad Alarm, its only increased my insurance by £25.07 per ANNUM!

So as you can imagine I didnt want to change for Norwich Union.

And also what would be better, with 40mm Drop.

15" ?
16" ?
17" ?

And do you have any pics of cars lowered 40mm with these diffrent size alloys.

Thanks again guys!
