165/50-15s? 15x6 ET38 I think. You'll probably get away with any fixed height kit (like up to 80/80)

You'll have issues with bits of metal hitting each other before the tyres will scrub (on a coupe/loon anyway, probably still the same for a square!)

ok whats the ideal height??

i want no problems lol

I'd personally go for a HnR 60/40 kit, they seem to sit a wee bit lower than other 60/40 kits. The ride is supposed to be better too, but I don't have any experience of that!

So probably 60 or 70mm would be ideal.

I'll vouch for toby's advice as thats the setup i'm running currently.

Perfect for a comprise between lowness and everyday driving.

Oh - don't think 40mm will be enough either lol

There is a square at work on 165/50-15s, lowered 40mm and I swear it has more arch gap than standard :lol:

Don't bother with 40mm kits, rarely look any less than standard and you'll only end up replacing it, trust me i've been there.
