i want it too look really low, and with 35-40mm i wont get that effect and dont think would make much difference?
i will get some 17s but later on.

but if it will cause problems with my 14s then maybe il do it about 50-55mm, will i stil get good handling?

ok maybe 70mm is bit too low on standard 14s!!
my mates Gsi is down 120mm!!!!!! on 15s and it looks nuts
its personal likings end of the day

but yeah, i do use my car often, carry passengers often and come across bumps/rough roads a lot so i guess sticking to 40-50mm is sensible
