lowering

[CMF_tiSh]

may i know how much can u lower a micra using 17" rims and 205/40/R17 tires? that is still drivable and wont rub at the side arches... and can still carry about 2-4 persons max. thanks

i doubt you'd be able to with 17's

it's pretty much a given you'll loose any back seat passenger carrying ability without some body work done to stop them scrubbing

my 15's scrub with 1 person in the back

i was going to say you could lower it by -3.5mm... but that would be silly... I have 15's and have no probs.... but then again I have no friends so have never had any "extra" people in the back.....

Jay85 had 40mm lowered k-macs in his micra & he had 17's. Kiss goodbye rear passengers, but other than that with the correct offset & rolled guards its possible.

It will kill your cars performance thou, they will be purely for looks

what offset wheels are you thinking about.. if they're around +45 u should be able to lower it atleast 40mm without rolling the guards,.. my 18x8's fit on the back no problem.. its not very low now, but doesn't look like it'd hit the guard.. probably hit the inner gaurd first.

oki thanks guys.. what do u mean by offset? i have 17"x7" rims. and am planning to buy federal ss595 tires (205/40/R17). 3.5mm would really be unoticable... gonna cancel lowering it. coz probably soon ill be adding heavy subs at the back... thanks again
