40mm on 15's is nothing

i had 60mm on 15's and still a huge arch gap. was gash.

16s and 60mm closes the arch gap but doesnt really make it look low cause its still about a mile off the floor

Remember you cant go more than 40mm on standard shocks... if i remember right.

You can, a lot of people advise against it though.
Then again some people (like me) do it anyway

I went from 185/55/15s to 195/45/16s on my 40mm springs and it was the exact same arch gap with both sets of wheels.

Which is why i dont want to go lower than 40.

You got any pics with 16s on mate? and also, did it look as it was sitting higher?

 

[JCC]

I do have pics, although they are pish camera phone ones.

I certainly didn't notice it sitting any higher off the ground, it didn't sit like a rollerskate if that's what you're worried about. Couple of pics anyway :

 

[Jordi17]

thanks for those mate looks good.

Anyone else with 16s and lowered 40mm please post pics...

Plenty from you, if I could afford coilies it would be on them, so 60mm springs will do for now :rasp: (those are 40s in the pic btw)

 

[Jordi17]

Not long tbh only about a month at the most, once my standard shocks die I'll get apex ones. There are a couple of other people on here who ran 60s on standard shocks for a year solid and never had any problems iirc.

Jcc I think yours looks spot on mate, nice and subtle

Android: easy for you to say when your running coilies, owning possibly the lowest non-sport on the forum

 

[Jordi17]

must be some more out there........

 

[LFCJosh]

[Jordi17]
