right looks like i will be gettin it lowered by 40mm within the next couple of weeks, so was just wondering if i should expect any trouble with my 14's runnin 185/50/14 tyres the wheels are 5 n a half wide as well, cheers for any help or info

should be fine, just watch out for the sharp(ish) speedbumps, lots of people are lowered 40mm on the std 13's and dont have too much trouble

Mines got the abarth's (14's) with 185/50's on the rear and 175/50's on the front and i haven't had any problems as yet with it, went camping in it so it was pretty loaded up but it seemed to be ok

AHHH!!! dn't do it expect the same probs as me B) the rear wheels catch on the inner lip of the arch and the wheels rub on the inside of the arch 2 :( so expect a rather nice burning rubber smell its fine with no 1 in the back tho :) u'll need 2 get ur aches rolled otherwise u can't run spacers without the wheels catching the lip so my tyres r being mutillated atm, what springs u planning on fiting? i have 40mm PI there so obviously lower tho.

My Cinq's on 15" black minilites, 5.5" wide, with 165/45 tyres and lowered 40mm. doesn't scrub at all on non rolled arches even 5 up over speed bumps. i think i've hit the nail on the head there.


That's another fine mess i've gotten me into!
 
I got mine lowered by some amount, i dunno the exact distance cos they car was lowered when i purchased it. Its on PI springs and looks rather low. I am on 14" Abarth alloys with 175/50's at the back and 185/50s at the front. The tyres used to be the other way around and with 3 guys in the car the rears used to rub when cornering quickly. So i swapped em. But with 175's at the back now, i can get 4 passengers and a boot full of Asda shopping and not have any probs provided i go really slowly over the campus speed bumps. Car looks scarily low though when i do.
