I can't really help but I have a similar question. I have standard wheels now, and standard suspension. I'm hoping to fit 16s (but it may be 15s) how low can I drop my suspension by (a kit) and not have any issues what-so-ever with 15s or 16s.

But anwer jonboy_corsa , my q is just for bonus points

Thanks

with the correct offset and 15's u can go really low, mine was 90mm with NO arch mods on 15's. infact i had to put 3mm spacers to clear the coilovers.
