Just got myself a set of Kahns RSR's, 6.5x15" problem is.. et 35. I never thought to ask coz they came off a corsa 
Am i gonna have problems when it comes to lowering the car? Just bought a new FK full kit... 60 front/40 back, but ive already 60 springs if the back aint low enough for me these.
So... 6.5x17" et35, 195/45/15, lowered 60mm. Am I gonna be fucked here

6.5 x 17 et35, you will have more problems than you can imagine
but if they are 6.5 x15 et35 on a 195/45 profile tyre & u'll be fine

if you do get a bit of rubbing then just bang the inner arch out with a rubber mallet this will give you an extra couple of mm's of clearance from the side wall

Icy, stop being picky 
nah man.. Kahn's in 15's only go up to et 35.. daves were 35 as well, i searched through some old threads.
Anyway.. been out and tried the rears.. theyre fine  I took the archs off just incase, and i reckon im gonna file the metal back a bit more, just to be on the safe side.
Should be cool when finished
