So my Oz Titans are 16", but they have an offset of ET37 - how the hell am I meant to lower without scrubbing... or will I be safe? I was thinking of a 45mm drop, but I haven't really seen any pictures of guys who've dropped on 16"s in garages, everyone seems to have 17s/15s

Advice? Especially interested in which suspension route you think is the best to go... budget coilovers or what?

They will scrub even if you don't lower the car. You will probably fail your MOT too because they will poke out the wheels arches too much.

They don't stick out THAT badly... can I not get spacers to help the problem?

Hmmmm why are spacers called spacers??

Because they space the wheels OUT that will make it worse!

Well, they will stick out a fair bit, seing as they are 11mm out too far and they will be about 7" wide. Unless your gonna fit PSG arches don't even try.

Time to look for some PSG arches then. These aren't as much as 7" wide, I think they are about 6.5"

A right, you could go to R-Tec and see if they can roll your rear arches back or cut some material off the arch to get them wheels on before you go the wide arch route...
