Depends on offset of wheels, if you do a search lowering questions are asked every day. Wheels need to have an offset as close to 49 as possible, 45-49 is best for minimal work. the offset is stamped on the back of the wheel it will say ET 45 for example. If they are the right offset then you should be able to lower 60mm with no work, the lower the number the more work necessary. Anyway thats the basics but just have a look around and there will be many more answers.

nope, but it does cover about 3/4 of the tyre on the back, and have no problems with scrubage, just speed bumps

Great stuff, cheers chap. Just didnt want to drive with them on and cause damage to the car. I will replace the tyres in the next month or 2. These tyres have got good tread on them.

Havent got the original springs anymore. Was looking at some point to maybe put 40mm shocks and springs in, but that wont be for a while yet.
