Flame what offset? 20mm at the rear!! 30mm at the front!! :! Are they like ET10 or something? My ET40 with 195/45/15 rubber 6.5 wide rims went down easily that low with JUST arch bolt removal!! | |

I have 15x6.5 wheels with 195-45-15 tyres dropped 50mm at the back and 85mm at the front on spax coilovers. The rears needed pulled out about 20mm each side at the back and the top 2 bolts taken out. The fronts needed pulled out about 30mm each side with the top 2 bolts taken out. I can still get full lock and it doesnt rub (that much!):thumbs: | |

all the advise given in this thread is really good, when i asked about lowering on et 38 all the replies i got were....dont bother lowering and buy new wheels...not very helpful when you've just spent £400 on wheels!! | |

Gambit I was able to have a 3 people in the back of the car with no problems after I smacked the inside arch out a bit & it never rubbed since - maybe I hit it a bit too hard :lol: | |

I lowered mine 60mm on 195x45x15's which were et38... Had to knock the inside of the rear arches out a bit with a hammer & shave the arch-bolts to stop it all rubbing, as even with no-one in the back going over the slightest bump caused it to rub. | |

Are the 6.5" wide or 7" wide rims? | |
Gambit |
posted on 7th Nov 03 at 09:13 |
yes you can do it, you wont be able to carry more than two in the back though, and you'll need uprated shocks also | |
