   Hey, I currently have my car lowerd 100mm on the rear and around 60 on the front, i wonderd how much art work would be needed for it not to rub if i deside to put 16's on, what sort off tyre profile will i need and aswel as 15's
   
   AND what colour do you think i should have with a black car.

   looks nice mate just a bitty to low at the back!
   
   But would need to remove the arch rear splash guard at a guess, and would imagine more and lowest profile tyres you can get for that low and 16's for sure

   Look like your shocks have blown loll specially on the right hand side... its lower?
   
   Raise it like 30mm and it'd look ok i think.

    Well, mate i would recommend 195/40/16 or 195/45/16, i was 75mm on my back and 45mm on front with 195/45/16 and only rubbing on full lock, but not im 50mm all round and still rub on full lock on the front, but none on the rear but yeh you need 195/40/16 tyres really mate, and probaly would just need to remove rear inner arch plastic.. and maybe some more, hard to tell untill you try.

    you really need 195/40 16 tyres,
    
    these will reduce rubbing as much as possible without archwork, but may still rub that low with people in
