Drop will be on 16" wheels with 195-45-16 tyres.

I find it hard to believe it will drop it 75mm with shocks & springs, what kit have you purchased?
Always remember with Springs they never actually lower it as much as stated, if they say "50mm"for example, realistically they only lower the car visually by 35mm and are never accurate.
My car is lowered about 55mm on Coilovers and i'm running 195/40/R16's too and have no issues, if I went down another 20mm it would still be alright so with a 75mm drop you should be ok, although I highly doubt you will actually get a 75mm drop on shocks & springs.
Ben,
