wheel and lowering

[Tony05]

hi guys if 55m on a mk1 clio with 15 195/45 is how it is,whats a similer drop with 16's as wont 55m rub?or 35m be not enough?
please help looking to order

16s will rub ive been told. and on a drop like that you wont get full lock on unless you have 16v wings...

ill be having 15s on 55mm and it should be fine.

is it the suspension your ordering or the wheels?

Mines droped 40mm on 16s not a mk1 but you get the idea:-

[samg1988]

55mm looks awesome. no arch work needed on 15s as far as im aware. ill be doing it soon!

go for 16's mate, it will be fine with a 55m drop!

i asked k-tech the same question and they told me 195/45/15 on a 55mm drop will be fine as long as u have full suspension/coilovers as for useing 16s instead then on some models it may rub the tinyest bit on bumps

buying the shocks,a fixed drop set of dampers and springs and wheels at same time,they do the wheels in 16's for a bit more and was just wondering as 15's seem abit lost to me that low,16 just fills it out abit more,if i rip the arch liners out what do we think or is scrubbing still expected?
