Im down 40mm, just that this single bolt at the front sticks out a bit. Might just cut it off to be safe. | |

I buffed mine off with a softex wheel & squeezed sillicone between the liner & the arch to stop it flapping. The bolt was gouging the shoulder of the tyre & I've only got 15's! | |

Fronts on the 5door are the same as 3door. Im lowered 65mm with 17's and uprated bumpstops on my 5door without a scrub. It Just catches the weather-guards on absoloute full-lock but no need to modify. | |

how much is it lowered? my bros 5dr is 60mm on 17's and the arch at the front doesnt rub, but this is with the plastic arch off. i assume if you cut the bolt off it should be ok. | |

There is one bolt that sticks out from the front archs on my car, will that catch on the tyre when i fit my 17's or is clearance from that front bolt not a problem? |
