*Bear in mind this is on non-16v front arches and 35mm on a 16v = 55mm on a non-16v

Rich, it that 55 on 16v springs or on 1.2 springs? I'm already on 35mm RT jobs but there still a good 30mm between arch and tyre...

well, 75mm - 16v's are apparently 20mm lower as standard. Don't know if its do-able tho in reality due to the thin arches. Mind-you, you've got 16v ones haven't you so would be ok...

i have mate and all i kow is if a wheel clamp gets put on there is less than a mm gap to the arch (nearly had him for damaging my car) so i think 35mm would be safer!
