that is so the distance to/from and speed calculations are accurate in the sat/nav itself - to my knowledge, this will not recalibrate the speedo for you.

Lower it for better look and handling.

so.. just to clarify.. since im new at this..

19inch rims, +45 offset (better option than +42)
8inch width

235/35 tyres

would i need to lower it or change suspension? wat do u guys reckon?

i want the rims to look big and fat.. but dont wanna have any problems or have to change too much..

yeah.. i would like to.. but wouldnt it affect the ride and turning?

imho, 19x7.5 would be the biggest you go if you want to do some decent lowering (keeping the wheels inside the gaurds...)
if you go 19x8, you may be able to put sports springs on.. but be careful going over any bumps, as when i had the wheel place put on a set of 18's to trial, they will hit the front gaurds..

another option you might like to considder is 7.5's for the front, and 8's or above for the rear... then you can put some coilovers on it and slam it to the ground. :)

First thing to do is to decide how much you want to spend on wheels and suspension. This will ultimately decide what sort of look and handling you are going to get. Also consider what sort of driving you are going to do e.g do you carry passengers around alot or are you going to track the car?

If you just want to change the rims to 235x35x8x19 and ride on the standard suspension, you will not scrap at all. Say you lower it to a 2 finger gap it still will not scrap. Bring it down to 1 finger gap it will start to scrap but very minimal.
The Euro is a heavy car, by just changing to shorter springs only, the handling will suffer as the original dampers will not be able to cope properly. As for ride and comfort, a good set of coilovers will allow you to control that. Trust me you can have it relatively low, with low profile tyres and still ride very comfortably.
