   As title says, im lowered 50mm at the front and around 60mm at the back of my VTR. Looking to put VTS wheels on, would these fit without rubbing as i dont have tyres on them yet and dont wanna buy tyres to then find out they rub?
   
   Thanks

   As long as you use standard profile tyres you should be fine.
   
   Unless you're silly low obviously
