I'm the opposite, mine rubbed at 60 front and had to take the back arch off at 80. Think the toyo is a better tyre due to the neg profile....and that's my foot at the boot so that's why it's so low lol

Mine's is 60mm drop all round and it has 195/45's on them and they catch the front wings, they rub the back inner arches and also rub on the shockers...

You might need to cut/fold your wings/arches and maybe use some wheel spacers

I'm not that heavy lol - it did drop it a bit more but not too much - that car is very low and handles very very well.

Mine has had to have rear arch lips modded and has had front wings rolled. Also runs 40 profile tyres.

strange how some have to mod the arches and some dont.

Any car needs the fronts doing if really low but the rear is definitely strange.

Mine have had a fair bit taken off the lip and used to rub the inside as well but coilovers went on with no mods whearas some people have to use a hammer to get them to fit.

mine is low at the front. wings are stadard/uncut with no problems at all.

My tyre sits in the arch slightly at the front so there is no way i'd get away without rolling them.
