offset 40, 15x6.5J wheels with 195/50/15 tyres
- lowered 50mm on PI Suspension kit
Scraped like fook when first fitted. Cut away half the front wing liner to clear.
Really low now 
Exhaust keeps hitting the axle lol. Will sort that with some rubber or something lol.
Enjoy the pics, I love the look and the ride is a 100 times better than stock sport suspension.
What ya think?
I might eventually go for some diff wheels with a higher offset and 195/45/15 tyres but it can stay like this for now:
Mudflaps scraping on driveway

Cheers mate, I don't mind the wheels, but fancy some better ones. Like I say, higher offset and lower profile tyres

Where is the humour to denote the "lol"?
As for car, good work on the lowering, I would consider some different wheeels though, they look a bit halfords to me.

Fair enough
I had a badgeless grill fitted but just prefer the stock V grill.
Future plans are some nice reclining recaros and a new exhaust sytem and K&N Induction kit (Currently got an old Pipercross on there)
That's it really.

Hmmmm, might be 60mm then. 
ET40 offset with 195/50/15 tyres rubs a little bit though. Might look at getting some ET45 with 195/45/15s but not sure yet. Like the way it sits on the current rims
