Just out of interest if the car is dropped by 30mm do I need to do any thing else like drive shaft spacers?

Looks miles nicer with the OEM wheels

The lower profit tyres make it look more like a 4x4 aswell.

It will look better when lowered though

Like said it needs lowering a lot otherwise you wont get rid of the 4x4 look, the car -> ground gap will just stay too big...


I htink the only way 18s look good is when they're tucked inside the arches and the car is on the floor

a BBK is a must here too.

You get away with the tiny calipers with the OEM 17's...

18's need BBK.

Have you still got the receipt for the wheels?

Sorry, but the pics of your car in the first few snaps are one of, if not the nicest looking moonrock I have ever seen....the 'after' pics make it....well....erm....not to my taste.

LOL, just done a search and seen some pictures of his car, truely is slammed!

That's too low for me in terms of being a practical daily driver, I need to be able to get up car park ramps and over speed bumps etc

It does look good though Tommy

cheers for the comments, like I said, the rims won't be to everyone's taste, and I decided to keep the OEM ones to change back when I get bored / fancy a change
