ive lowered mine by 35mm ive got 17"x7 wheels running on 205/40 tyres, not got any spacers, i would recomend u get the arches roled though, the only time me rears just about scrub when i go in a sharp dip in the road at about 65mph as i didnt get me arches roled, i only chopped just under a cm of the lip ov the arch it just catches the rear ov the inner arch if thats a pointer

Hi matey, i've got 15's on a -30mm drop, 195/45 tyres. no spacers, they don't catch apart from the fronts rub on full lock.

its a gmax kit.

don't know if any of that helped you but there you go!

i think ive got the same lowering kit as you and ive got 16's too, now it doesnt catch on the back unless i have ppl in and i hit a medium sized dip, but i have cut my arches right back on the rear, on the front its a different story! they are a right pain in the arse, ive got a cossie bib on it too so it sits a little further into the arch so it catches on that, it also catches on the si arch section and it also touches the little lug thing that holds the wheel arch liner in place at the top! so its a right pain ive allready cut bits off and it still catches and at the minute i cant be arsed cutting any more off! lol

if you start cutting jus go bit by bit and test drive it inbetween or if you leave it like me the paint will start wearing off the bit it touches so you know how much to cut lol!

Glad someone else is having this. mines bout the same unless i go over ahole they don't catch. fronts already been a pain so can see it getting worse. my arches are bonded on so could be quite hard

Just for the sake of it....

195 45 R16's scrubbing like a bitch with major arch cuttage on the front, I have adjustable wishbones so I think by pulling the camber in, which pushes the top of the wheel out has caused this - and my coilovers are a tad low I think
