mine don't

yeah they would rub quite a bit

Sorry for jumping in...

so if you guys have been alright with them, would 195/45/16 ET38 lowered 40mm rub?

I have 195/45/16 ET35 lowered 35-40mm and so far I've had no problems.

I have 195/45/15 et37 and lowered 40mm and never rubs even with a full car. It also handels really well.

Thanks will have a look see what size tyres are on cant remember

i ran et35 lowered 40mm on my corsa for two years without any major arch work

all i done was remove the arch bolts and then give the inner arches a good hammering with a plastic mallet!

you can go 40mm without any major problems, ie just remove the rear arch bolts

make sure you get 195/45 r15 tyres otherwise it'll rub like a bitch

OK! I have to agree with you in the handling it is good! As you say prob due to good tyres aswell!

Thanks

OZ spigots are made of metal which is much better than the usual shiity plastic, dont effect the offset though! I've got 15" Superleggera's & have no complaints about the handling, even with ET37. Decent tyre's help, I paid extra to get Uniroyal Rainsport 1's & they're immense in the dry and even more so in the wet! :! Down -60mm but had to have my rear arches done as the plastic outer arch was shaving the sidewall & the metal lip was flushed into the back of the plastic. You'd be aswell to get them done fr & rear as they're gonna scrub, it didn't cost to much to have them done. You can do the front ones with a small grinding wheel as it's ony one big stud that sticks thru. How low is up to u & dependent on standard ride height & any adverse effect on hanling can usually be atttibuted to the fact that it's almost impossible to keep your car tracking straight once lowered.

Handlin is really good actually, 10 times better than steelys had before, sticks to road like glue. Someone said I had spigot tings on with the wheels make them fit better or sumit like that so maybe et43 or something

not very but your handlin wwill still be shite try to go for 40 +

I got 15" OZs ET38, just wondering without arch mods how much I can lower it??

thanks:look:
