   Ok im looking for a really low stance on my car. Im running on 16s atm and lowered 30mm all round. I was just wondering how low people have gone on 16s and do you get a lot of scraping, rubbing etc. I have had 4 other peopl in my car and quite alot of weight in my boot and the alloy basically just sits under the rear arch. This is what im looking for to be honest. I didnt notice any rubbing scraping etc although it was motorway driving so to be fair not many bumps/ dips or corners obviously. If anyone can help maybe with pictures that would be great.
   
   Thanks
