Looks Haaawt!! If you could get it any lower than mine...go for it!! I love it!!! Slammed baby! I know many of you dont dig the look....I have always lowered my rides as far back as my VW days in the early 90's.....:D

personally i love the look, but for me i also want to use the car, and i would imagine if you hit any speed bumps or dips the rear tyres would bite into the body work.

my X has 10.5?? x 20 wheels without the arch extensions and the tyres are ever so slightly protruding out of the arches, i would love to lower it but dont want to have any harder ride (sport) or body / tyre damage

how do you get on

hi i am running 10.5 * 22 rear with 315/30/22 rubber and the fronts are 9.5*22 with 295/30/22 rubber the offset is 20, the wheels sit just inside the plastic arch and they dont catch. The ride is more bouncy but nothing to put you off driving it :-) its a trade off between looks and ride, I can raise the front up 15mm and it would ride better so I may be tempted to do that :-)
