YOU WONT GET ANY RUBBING IF YOU STAY WITH THE STANDARD WHEELS WHAT EVER AMOUNT YOU LOWER IT CAUSE RENAULT HAVE DESIGNED IT SO WHEN THE SHOCK IS COMPLETELY COMPRESSED I.E. WHEN YOU HAVE 5 FAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR THE BUSHES STOP IT GOING ANY FUTHER INTO THE ARCH. ITS WHEN YOU START ADDING SLIGHTLY...
iVE GOT 17 " SUPER TURISMOS ON MINE WITH 205/40/17 TYRES. I HAVE RECENTLY DECIDED TO LOWER IT 35 mm CAUSE IT LOOKED REALLY HIGH AND DUMPY FROM SOME ANGLES AND THE HANDLING SUFFERED SLIGHTLY. NOW IT LOOKS LIKE A DIFFERENT CAR WITH THE FLARED ARCHES HUGGING THE WHEELS NICELY AND IT GIVES THE CAR A...
Lowered my Mk2 172 40MM yesterday. Looks amazing but I have now found out that when Im going over bumby roads the wheels tend to hit the wheel arches for a brief second. its probably cause I have 17s on but Im really worried about having 5 people in the car. perhaps 40mm is too low.
Any one...

well I have had to top mine up twice and I have done 12000miles. the first was around 3000miles like you and the second was around 10000miles. The mechanics at Renault say it burns more oil when new so I guess this is normal.
