   Hi soz i know there are prob about a million threads on this but all i can find are people and the 1.1s and arch isues. I have a mk2 vts atm and it already has 16" alloys with 195/45 tyres. I want to lower the car but i dont know how much buy or i dont know weather to change the alloys back to the standard vts wheels. I have lowerd a vtr on 17's and it gave me nothing but headwork. everything rubbed . front back lock even with 10mm spacers. I gave in on that. Anyone help?

   16s may still be ok if you go down about 40mm, but if your wanting to go down lower then 15's are probably your best bet tbh, otherwise you will just have the rubbing problems

   Dont really want to go too low not really into that. Really like the look of the standard vts alloys though. i got a writen off 206gti 180 ( my last car) will the breakes fit the 15" standard alloys???

   were they a direct replacment mate or was there any major work. If its the car on you prof pic looks nice. Have you lowered it yet?
