Fitting diamond cuts
Hi all I've just came across a set of 17in diamond cuts for my s2 Rs turbo ... The car is standard and what I was wondering is tyre size spring size and how low can I get without trimming the rear arches ? Thanks in advance

I'm looking for a set of them! would use 205/40/17 and then they shouldn't rub too much.

205 40 17 tyres and spax 25 mm lowering springs and you will have no issues unless you have a car full!

i had them with 215s on standards suspension and it rubbed like anything when u go in a dip on the road or even fast around a corner, if you got a stiffer suspension should be alright.

Copy cat!
Yours looks perfect of course
I haven't trimmed my arches and they don't rub even with people in the back
