[nottsgreent5]

hi all prob bit of a stupid question but iam thinking of lowering my car 40mm but think im going to have issues with the front spoiler grounding on every thing would it help if i was to fit 18s to give it that bit more height before being lowerd and will it give it that wheel tight in the arch look or am i barking up the wrong tree lol

You shouldnt have any problem Lowering your Car 40mm, ive fitted 40mm drop killen springs and run 17" Wheels and havent had a Problem.

I did have to get rid of the Nivo rear shocks and Mounts though.

normally if you go up a size in wheel, then you go lower on the tyre profile so the rolling diameter isn't affected. Which mean you won't gain any ride height
