    If you have 16's then i would say no lower than 40mm. Whats your tyre profile?

    Cheers

    40 profiles on 60mm down should be fine not much diff between 45/15's (vts size tires) and 40/16's which i would recommend rather than the cheaper 45/16's

    60mm drop with 195/40/16 tyres and think you will need about a 5mm spacer as the c2 wheels are a different offset. hope this helps
