   Hey guys,
   Iv been searching up on alloy sizes and how much to lower it by.
   Was wondering what everyones opinion on the subject was? and what you've had done?
   
   Im not sure if these would fit? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16-OZ-MICHELAN...item45ebc9add7 but thought they looked quiet nice in the dimond cut finish.
   Il proberly go for the standered S alloys but wanted to know what my options where.
   cheers guys.

    I've got 16x7 with a 195/45 i think (defo 45) pro race 1.2's on and they rub with weight in the baqck. Not sure what its lowered by though (prev owner) but once i get new rear beam and suspension set up it should be fine.
