Erm... how low? It's hard to say I've never truly measured it. It's on 35mm matiz rear lowering springs on the front standard shocks but gives more than a 35mm drop, and corsa shocks and chopped springs on the rear rides nice toowell its much appreciated

I guess I'd say it's 50 to 60mm ish...
Love that look just not dedicated to the stance!

Loads of great info on those two threads. Have a look at www.willtheyfit.com and compare your prospective purchase with known combinations from the threads.
Oh and poke doesn't work without stretch - that's the point, it allows the wheel rim to sit proud of the arch, but with the inward stretch of the side wall keeping the tread under the arch and the tyre shoulder clear of the arch lip, all in order to facilitate fitment of the widest possible rims and clearance of the arch lip and possibly inner arch/suspension components with lots of lowering.
here my fitment
BBS 15" 7.5J ET19 with 195/45 tire
on this ride height i need camber on front.
cant get finger in between wheel and fender, but it doesnt run into the fender when driving

Do you have some more pics of this car? Interesting setup. How did you managed to get such a nice looking dish in a 5.5j? And are there any spacers used for offset?there are a few offset threads on here, this is 5.5j x 13 et 10 ish

the centers were removed flipped and rewelded arturio
Whoa, that's ghetto! Any safety issues with that, wheel doesn't wobble? I had a similar idea once but every known mechanic I spoke to said I should never try it, because once the center is removed it's almost impossible to perfectly align it again with the rim.
