Yeah a fair bit. 3.75" at the back and 2.25" at the front. Will probably go a bit lower at the front (got coilovers installed recently) I just need to get 20mm spacers for the front first instead of 25mm as I'm getting the occasional guard contact on the tyres even with rolled lips

FibreMaz. I applaud your choice in tire size! 17"X 7" Konigs, with 205/40R17 up front, and 215/40R17 out back. Not lowered.

The wheels are not on the car yet, this was just a test fit, but it still gives you an idea. 17s with 205/40r17 tires.

Hey whats the offset on your rims?

BTW...i must say that to whoever is posting up there wheels sizes that its most critical that you put the offsets of those rims up too, as you might be running a 17x7 +20 offset and it fits but the person looking at this thread might not know offset and end up buying a +45 offset and have rub...so please post offsets...

Mine are +40 offset. I'm running 25mm adaptor/spacers (changing to 20mm at the front) the back is stuffed nicely in the guard (no rubbing with rolled guards) the front is almost flush with the guard, will be better once I get the thinner spacers
