I have a standard ride height 1.4 sport qith these wheels-



On saturday night i picked up 2 very overweight people, its rubbed the arches.

I want to lower it 40mm. Does this mean that i cannot lower it without it rubbing?

I also don't know the offset of these wheels. Does any1 else?

Any help appreciated
