Its gunna look like something from the wild west with those huge wagon wheels on there!

Keep it in perspective imho.

 

Ive managed to borrow / blag some 17's to try

I'm not 100% that it is dropped 60mm (40 on rear) but it is close but i think still looks OK and only rubs at full lock

 

opinions please and please excuse how filthy it is !

 

Thats cheating - anything will look cool on a 3 door estate.

I've changed my mind, I like those.
Ride will be a bit hard though!

 

If I wer u i would try and get your hands on a set of cossie wheels ther dear enough but worth every penny.. ive 205/45 on the front and 225/45 on the back. sticks to the road like shit to a blanket now and looks the mutts nuts !!

 

dont you find they stick out waaaaay to far ?

this is just my TDI powered daily car / van / camper etc ! so dont really want to spend too much on it

 

had 205 40 17 on my old rs turbo 60mm drop.its fine if u have uprated adjustable dampers to stop the car going down too much.also need correct offset mate

 

25mm drop is perfect for the RST

 

the wheels in the pic are ET40

i have taken it for a good blast around the lanes where i live and it didn't rub or catch once other than on full lock , but only 1 side are fitted due to only having 3 !

it has uprated shocks (front only at moment but rear waiting to be fitted) but they arent adjustable as i got fleeced over on ebay with them

 

Another pic with 7x17 alloys (40mm offset), 25mm lowered and fully loaded with camping gear.

Standard arches and rear discs, only rubbed on big dips on the road

 

Wel iv a wide arch kit on mine so i had to get 2.5" wheel spacers.. does the job tho. looks cool.

 

My old cab lowered 60mm on 205/40/17

 

my old cab
had 40mm on 17"

 

my old s2 with 60 mm drop on 17 inch super t`s loved the way it looked but drove like shit

 

Does depend on the springs aswell as some sit lower than others

 

this was dropped 60mm on 17s

 

my onion is dropped 60 mm plus a coil lopped off on spax adjustables,handles and rides perfect!!



205/40/17s std ford 40 offset,no scrubbage!!

 

Yours doesnt look any lower than mine with a 25mm drop

Neither does this

 

the rs is 25mm or was it 30mm lower from before=)
