   i have some 16" wheels on the way and the next step (after i've paid for them) would be to lower my car onto them
   
   i was thinking of lowering it 45mm but i saw some cars lowered 60mm and it looks wicked
   
   what do you guys think?
   
   i have a silver furio and im getting 16" Oz superturismo GTs

   30-40mm for handling, 50-60mm for looks. If you're going for looks I'd say drop it 60, will look great!

   If you want to go down 40mm, make sure you get some 40 profile tyres with the wheels rather than 45 profile. This means you wont need to modify the arches when you come to lowering it.

   i took this into account before i bought the wheels and ordered 1954016 tyres, fitted
   
   and 60mm sounds good if it looks the best, even if it is impracticle
