That's pretty much undriveable though... with roads with bumps anyway. You can go 100mm on 14's, but I personally don't see the point. Think it looks good, but at the end of the day, there's really no need.

60mm on 14's looks low to be fair.

cant actually remember the size mate but there was no rubbing at all, plenty room in there. just trim down or take of your mudflaps as they scrape everything

my 15" vauxhall wheels are smaller radius than my standard sport rims i would say 60mm at the front cos any lower and your going to catch your sump but you can go 90mm at the rear no problem. i'd get coilovers if i was you then you can change your height depending what you fancy.
