Look in my garage for ground clearance with 16's and a 60mm drop, not the same but it might help a little.

plenty of ground clearance on mine. dropped 60mm running on 195/50/15 rubber. although i did beach on a nasty speed bump once before. and when parking on curbs, the front splitter has a tendancy to fold and the exhaust manifold and middle box scrape. so just dont park on curbs

That's what were on my standard 14" 3 spokes too, and they were off a 1.4 Sport.
What should be on them like, as I need 4 new tyres now.

I did that for a few weeks over last Xmas too. I had no problem on 13" steelies, lowered 60mm and car full of 5 passengers.
Gonna be doing it again this Winter but on my standard 14" 3 spokes this time..
