Man thats pretty sad, the top of the rear wheel is only just tucking under the shell. Thats what is **** about the newer cars, even when you lower them they still look like high.
Heres my VL, top of the rear wheels tucks under the shell and its still at legal hight

yeah thanks, the vt onwards seemed to have real big wheelarches, the vs etc can tuck rims quite nicely, a mate has a real nice vs tuckin his 17s when he had them on it, has 19s now, tucks almost an inch, its bloody low lol

um, tyres didnt rub at all, i thought they would but they didnt, if the road is REAL smooth u would be able to drive it, eg, i couldnt back it down from the little drop in the concrete i had to make a ramp out of some timber,

i have to admit, it did look good, but goofy because the front was up, cars lower in the ass than the front just look silly. would be good if it was drivable :D
