yeh but the 13s have high profile tyes meanin that they have a quite big overall wheel size, as oppposed to low profile 15s for example which could be smaller, so u could def get away with 40mm.

what tyres you running on the 13's? 13's with standard size rubber (165/70) are nearly the same rolling radius as a 15 with 195/45. You wont be grounding at all. I drove for ages lowered 70mm on 13" steels whilst I was waiting for my new rims. Its low but you'll be fine so long as you havent got a kit.

I've had my 13" steelies and 14" Sport alloys on when my car was lowered 60mm.
It's very low and feels like a gokart, but I never bottowed out, even 5 up in the car (and that was low!)

No pics tho
