lowering and 17's

[johnnybrighton]

Hi, i know its proably been answered before but i couldnt find the topic... I've oredered my Eibach springs, the front -45-50mm and -30mm on the rear. I was going to get some 16" alloys but then i saw a clio near me and thought i'd go 17".

The cars a 3dr 05 plate 1.4,16V extreme.

if i got 205/40/17 would i have any rubbing/scraping?
or would i need to get 205/35/17 tyres??

cheers

john

Depends on how many friends you have that will ever be in your car

2 People just in the front will be fine, 3 or more will rub...

ive gone 35/40mm drop on 17s with 205/40/17 and with two people in front and two in back it sits low, so u mite be ok

I'm on 17s, 40mm drop all round (closer to 50mm @ front with diesel lump)

even 5 adults, no probs at all!

60mm is probably a safe bet. That's what im going to get and im on 17's too. Not heard anything bad about that kind of drop.

I can fist my arches with 17's on, plenty of room to lower!
