   My Vtr is down 50mm have a look at my progress thread ( below )
   
   
   Also as regards to any speed bum problems? ive had none! as long as you dont speed over them which im sure you wouldnt then it will be fine, some people have gone down 60mm and had no problems so 50mm is def fine
   
   Hope that answers your questions

   yep had a car full the other week and it was ok, depends how you drive really if your safe like me and drive carefully you are fine, if you want to rag with a car full expect to feel every bump lmao

   mine tyres rub the inside wheel arch on full lock, but not during normal driving (standard wheels/tyres and down 50mm)

    i run 195s not 185s but it shouldn't make any odds. mine definitely rubs though, but just quite lightly.

    what you want is to get fully under but facing the same way as the trailer.
