just a quick one,
is anyone on here running 15" rims on their lowered sei? if yes got any pics ive dropped mine 50mm but as im running 13" currently i dont like the size of the gap thats still inbetween the tyres and the arches, was thinking of going to 15" so that it would be pretty much riding on the tyres to get that naughty drop look...:devil::slayer:
 
15s will go on cinqs and seis - you may have some catching on 50mm drop though. But i do not advise it unless you are going to turbo or 16v convert it as it will be really slow and horrid to drive on 15s.

mine is 60/60 on 14s and there is zero arch gap and zero catching unless you have people or heavy stuff in the car.
 
Mines in the garage having 15's fitted as we speak, ill try and get some pics up later and give a littlke feedback on how it drives - lowered 40 on the back and the front unknown
 
There on, no rubbing (yet) 195/45/15's, ive wound the front up a little just to be on the safe side but i think ill be able to put it back down a bit
about to go for a drive - ill let you know what happens ( baseball bat in the boot incase the rear arches need rolling a little )

Rubbing, lots of rubbing lol
if the rear arches were rolled far enough (and yes they will go that far without changing the outside edge) it will be fine
personally i dont like how low the back looks now, so a set of 40 springs are going in
As for driving - seems to pull about a little more than it used to on the front, ESPECIALLY under braking on an un-even surface, but it corners like SO much better now :)
Unfortunatly fingers, i cant comment an acceleration 1/4 mile ect, there the same size in that respect as what i had on the front before (5.9mm bigger but thats nothing)

if your after looks or perfomance, by all means do it, if you want your car to be comfy and nice to drive - FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DON'T!
