ah, well, that is strange, becuase even with the space it will only be et46, which "should" be fine regardless

yer i had 195/45 tyres on et45 16" wheels lowered with no probs

Although when i had spax rsx coilovers they were a pig for rubbing on the inner tyres so i got rid of them for normal shocks and springs

Think its spax rsx in general mate i cant lower my car any more at the front because they will either rub the coilover or rub the arch, only got 15's and cant afford/ justify buying 4 new lower pro tyres either especially when the front two are brand new
