My dad is adamant that if I put my Softstars back on, they won't ft under the arches. I put one on yesterday and they do stick out a bit more than the steelies and there isn't a whole lot of room between the arch and the wheel, but it's only lowered 60mm. However I'm obviously saying that it's fine because of the countless people who have lowered the same amount with the same wheels and the same size tyres.

Here's a quick picture that I took:

Should be fine.

If not, trim the arches back a bit.

It's hard to tell in pics, but it's bad enough for me not to want to put it back on.

Spot on, like I said it's hard to tell in pics, but when you see it for real I wouldn't feel safe with it on.
