270mm?
270mm is like lower than Ultralows sit man... :unsure:
My car sat 15mm lower than the springs were meant to which confused hell out of SA Suspension Centre, so perhaps its likewise with your car. But that would still mean Ultralows, yet the tyre should be in the guard... :unsure:

Thats the closest match to the stock diameter you can get on 17's, perfect choice man :thumbsup:
I dont understand how the distance has increased though. In the attached pic you can see that your new rims have a larger diamter than your old ones, so they should now be inside the guard if your old tyre stopped 1cm from the guard...
Sounds like you only have king spring lows, not superlows. But your eyeheight measurement made no sense and neither does the increased distance with the new rims and tyres.

Hang on, are you sure your current tyres are 185/65R14? As someone already said 185/75R14 is stock, 65 series would be an illegal fitment as there is a greater than 15mm difference in rolling radius.
