mine is lowered 30mil all round. looks and handles nice, not too low or bouncy, takes the edge off how high it is lol
Whats the offset on the wheels?
Width and offset of the wheels? -60mm will go if they're sensible offset and sensible size tyres.

oh dear i think it will be 40 mm then
I had Oz Exclusives on ET38, 195/45/15 down 60mm front and 50mm rear. Rear arches rolled. No scrubbing, but I had removed the rear seats.
60mm should be fine.
you need this sticker - "my wheels rub, so no fat chicks!"

sig (springs)
Dont be soft, Run some 175 maybe 165/45 tyres and gently take the arches back. Get it on its **** 60mm at least.
Mine is -40 and it scrubs on the rear left (195/55/15), Spax VSX kits ftl :(
