hope this will help, my mate has a set of 16 (no scrub) and dropped 60mm. I know you can go as large as 17'swill little or if lucky no scrub dropping 60mm. I would not recommend going any lower cos otherwise you are going to a: get scrub b: hit bump stops very easily. I would recommend a set of kahn rsr's or masitaly bhp, as they are both very open spoke design, making a 17 look f***ing huge, if you drop it 60mm on a suspension kit you should only get a little scrub on the wheel arches ( rs bodykit), saying this I know mates that have had no probs at all, (really does depend on what offset the give you).. dropping 60mm does look well good on 17s though. I was down pts the other week, a white s2 erst has 17's 5spoke dropped 65mm, well fat m8!
