Not very happy..
the 45 tyre compared to the old 65 tyre hardly fills the gaurds up at all,
Its begging for springs but im not sure if i want a low car again..
plus the Mugen front lip is already having a hard time as it is

Driveway pictures
cars dirty

Yeah, the mugen lip kit already 'lowers' the car enough... i have to be pretty careful as well.

Yeah 16" don't do a very good job do they... I was gonna go for 17"... but I might consider 18" now.

leave the car as it is as it looks good. When youre driving it will lower abit and will look perfect. Try gaining some weight and will look more lower. LOL!

Seriously, if you lower it you will lose the ride comfort and you will regret it.

wow you have done a GREAT job at making a car look like it has remote control car wheels. the yellow stripe does NOTHING for black on black. Looks like motorbike wheels (actually even they are 17's) Oh well live and learn i suppose.

even you put 20" rims, still WON"T fill the gap. with 17" u get 45 profile, 18 get 40, 20 get 30. overall diameter always exactly same as stock (15 with 65).that's why the gap stay the same.only lowered is the answer.
