easily can go that low, 60mm front 80mm rear is a nice stance imo..

or get some 195/45/15s on there and go alot lower..

if i was you i would just trim the arches back a touch (just the plastic) and knock the arches out with a hammer (not alot just to give you that little more clearance, doesnt take 5mins an arch..

if you did that im sure you could have a full car and go that low..

Use your noodle. I just took a grinder and an old grinder blade and buffed a bit of the arch off from the inside (the little lip that catches and scuffs the tire) sounds brutal but it did the job!

Yeah on the rears. Mine was 60mm and scuffed with 3 in the back when i went over big bumbs. So just somehow buff the lip tht pokes into the wheel arch down about 5-10mm and you should be fine! No need to hack or chop anything.

Was -100mm down with an engine in the back of a car and it moved ok.... Not sure where the wheel went or if previous owner did anything with the arches though.

Mine was down 100mm with no mods needed, if you have vauxhall wheels youll be fine.

205's 16" didnt fit under the arch without scrapping on mine like. must just be dependant on the stiffness of your shocks..
