I run a 225/35/20 Wanli tyre. The tyres do sit in the guards, alot. Lowest point of My car is the cat. With the 4"dump abd 5"cat the bottom of the car is only likr 40mm off the ground, very, very painful, but, it's the price u pay I guess.CheersGav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSL is usually around a 50mm drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
