    yea there 17`s lol hopefully it should look a lot better lowered tempted to slam it but would prolly sit on the wheels before it sits on the floor lol plus with driver suspension bieng like a boat its shreddin the tyres lol so lowerin and butchering the inner arch is in order

    It's looking nice mate, i love white wheels on red cars.

    I've got 17's on mine and it's lowered 40mm. It doesn't really rub these days either, unless i hit a big bump or my large **** mates are in the car!!!!

    Is the car a driver by any chance??? If you fit some gti anti roll bars then the boatyness will stop and just take an angle grinder to the inner arch mate makes a hell of a difference if your working to a budget lol its all i did!

    Car will look nice lowered maybe get a lower splitter of a gti that will make it look a bit lower too!
