hi, im just wondering if i buy a new set of 15" for my car to replace my 13" will i still be able to give it a lower look...currently when i bought the car it was already lowered but i dont think it has any kind of lowering kit etc...so if i buy the 15" would i be able to give it the same look or would i have to buy a lowering kit?

thanks

What car do you have? If you get 15"s with the correct tyre pforile (normally 195/45) it should be fine

That'll be a 6N then?

If it looks lowered it probably is lowered, mark4s and mark5s come ridiculously high out of the factory.

You got any pics of it?

ye sorry its a 6n...it definately has been lowered but i dunno how to check what its been lowered on...

the alloys im hoping to buy are put in the mk4 section...the tyres it says it comes with are 195/50....would it still look ok or can i ask for lower profile...

i aint got no pics atm...was gona go take some now but its completely pouring outside ...good old weather ay

definitely ask for 195/45s, 50s look gash and will rub if lowered too much.
