Nah, 40mm isn't that low cos they resemble 4x4's as standard lol, in most cases if you're going for looks you need at least 50mm, although imo, 40mm suits my car quite well, especially now it's stripped out too, has a good motorsport kinda look, and that's the look I want cos it'll quite possibly end up as a track car in a few years
imo, if you're going for a slammed look you want 60/90, with 16s

Most kits do 60mm kits! depends what you want it for.
Everyone says 40mm for performance and handling, 60mm plus for looks.
