   I tried to fit my 17" on my standard(not lowered) Saxo VTS yesterday. It really worked ok and I didn't get any scrubbing either. Is this normal ? Is it only when u lower it that u get problems? I'm thinking of lowering it 40 mm.

   it will rub on full steering lock and at the rear when you go over bumps. arch work will still be needed even with only a 40mm drop.
