	I have 18's on mine. the rims have a et49 offset with 205/35/18 tyres.... Mate think about the price of tyres..One tyre for mine was £200...so be warned!! as for the drop theres a 35mm on mine... had a set of 50mm and it was rubbing like fcuk.. Looked sweet though

	I've seen a 205/30/18, just trying to look up who supplied it. :)

	Stick with a narrow 18" rim and they should go straight on..... as for extra low springs, FK make a 75/50 drop.

As for the question, as far as I know, you can't get a -60mm shock and spring yet yet so it'd have to be coilovers? yeh add me to msn an i'll show u them if u want? AS for coilovers, fletch dont have em on his c an his is on 18s. the wheels will be 7 x 18 so they are the same width as the 17s in the same make. :thumbs: Will do laters thanks mate. As for the coilovers, I didn't mean they were necessary for 18"s, just that to the best of my knowledge, you can't get a -60mm kit yet, plenty of -40mm kits but AFAIK, no -60mm kits ('cause I wanted one!) and from what I gather, coilovers are the only way to get -60mm right now... (Or lower... ;) )

	Thanks J 11ESY very nice car as well, most impressed!!!!! Need to check the offset of mine, I think they are about a 41 or 42 offset. Wolfrace Ikons if any one knows off hand.

Please tell me how!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks and sorry for hijack of the thread!! :) Mine is on 17's lowered -40mm and I have no rubbing at all. If you want pics check my garage :thumbs:

	17"s and say, -40mm should be fairly easily achievable TBH. Obviously depending on your wheel offset.
