Have you had to roll your arches to have it them dropped right down??
How low can you go without rolling your arches?

i didn't have to touch my arches at all!! and there is no scrubbing wot so eva!!
when i tried to put 17s on tho i would a had to have my arches flaired and rolled as the wheels i got were 8.5 wide!
i've now got 7.5 wide 16s and hopefully i can go back down to 60mm all round and maybe a bit lower!!

its mainly gonna be determined by how wide and the offset of your wheels that'll you'll know how much to deck it or maybe of the arches rolled or flared. if you dont want probs.....get a high offset!

ive just put my highsports on tonite and put them down to 120mm on my 14'' indianapolis rims. LOW is not the word. It doesnt rub the arches though,,,just my exhaust scrapes everything.

normally stamped on the back of the wheel. If im beign entirely honest offsets confuse me abit,,,its something to do with where the wheel sits in relation to the mounting point of the wheel i think.
