is this possible?

seen some nice alloys 15 inch with 195/50/15 tyres on...they will fit fine ...but can i still get my car lowered by 35mm?

 

[jim_bling]

yea should be fine mate might be a lil bit rubbing but will be ok make sure the pcd is right though

Shouldn't get any rubbing mines been lowered 60mm and Ive got 195/45/15 on and they fine even with full lock.

mines been lowered 60mm

how so?

 

[nexussteve]

Or alternatively, just lower by 30mm instead! ^^

the offset and tyre width is more critical than the amount of lowering surely ?

Are these the almera alloys?
You'll be fine with 195/50/15 tyres lowered 35mm, exact same as I've got

Yeah, but looks like he's already got tyres on there

Personally, I'd adjust the tyres to the amount of lowering, as tyres are changed all the time!

moddedmicra, to be fair its 51mm front 39mm rear there HKS springs and shocks off of jo and johns turbo micra. If you don't believe me find there blod on rc website it states that they where to be put on the car then the changed them for coilovers. But with my weight in front it is closer to 60mm to 50mm, Squarepants has seen this and he can voich for it.

Well if you use your inteligence rather than just going on what everyone is saying you can quite easily fit very wide tyres on a very low car by getting the offset correct.
