   the best thing to do mate would be to put the wheels on the car first then measure up then you will know how low to go for sure

   You can go as low as 60mm or more, aslong as you have 40mm profile tyres...
   
   But down 60 will scrub the archs on full lock, and bumps.
   
   I'd suggest no lower than 50mm... As mine is 50mm and only slightly scrubs now.
