   I have spacers on my vtr front and rear bringing the wheels out a decent amount..... Im looking to lower my VTR 40mm but when ive seen them lowered around 60 i see the rear wheel is tucked behind the arch but my wheels will not fit behing the arch dur to the spacers. So basically with 40 mm should it be ok with aspacers dya reckon considering bumps and stuff aswell
   Cheers guys

   should be fine on 40mm but depends on the size of the spacers 10mm spacers would be fine at 60. I tried 20mm with vts wheels which are wider and only had small scrubbing on the rear arches and im down 80mm

   spacers are more hassel than there worth imo on standard wheels
   
   you need to have a big enough arch gap so that with people in the back or when you hit bumps the tyre doesnt catch
   
   arch gap = gay

   id say it'll be fine
   
   without spacers, or with smaller spacers so the wheels dont protrude from your arch you would be able to go much lower. But all depends how low you want
