   I ave just bought a set of wolfrace mantis 17's and want 2 lower it 40mm all round
   How much would it cost to lower it and do all the arch work need to fit my 17's on?
   
   Does anyone have any pic of their cars lowered 40mm on 17's?

   my mate has 17s TSW rocket 4 and is down 60mm, he has no front inner arch at all and not sure about rear but he can have 3 passengers, 2 in the back and it only rubs when going over bumps etc

   he must have done a shit load of archwork then to get no rubbing 60mm down with passengers.
