Nadine Posted June 7, 2009 Author Share Posted June 7, 2009 well i have 16" azev As on my car the now with the same tyre size my car is lowered 35mm at the moment and there is plenty of clearance. i just dont know if lowering it the extra 5mm will muck it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryoishikawa Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 cossie are 8j aint azev 7.5j, i think u should leave it with 35mm drop less likely to rub when people are in the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 i think 40mm with 195's should be fine even with people in the back( weight permitting ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawdreamer Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 im not sure of that size but i think u are right. ok marc thanx, ill give it a go and see my Si's running 195/50's on 60 drop and only spaced upfront 5mm just to prevent the VERY light rubbing on full lock.....Id have thought you'd be alright with the setup your describing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScORTED Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) will my wheels rub on my arches if my car is lowered 40mm, i will have 16" cosowrth wheels with 195/40/16 dunlop tyres fitted? nadine, the car was -40 when it left me, it had red springs and black shocks, unles sthis has changed its still down 40it didn't rub on 215/40/16s, 195 is too narrow a profile on an 8J rim and the spacers were only needed to fit the 15" mk6 RS alloys over the cossie brakes.. hope this helps Edited June 7, 2009 by ScORTED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
