im down 45 mm do issues tho im still on 15s seen some in the UK with 17s and down 45mm with no issues, will be getting 17s soon so will see if i will have issues, u will probably get different opinions on which springs to get im using spax if u after comfort maybe skip em but OMG they transform how the car handles its like driving on rails.
Thats my 2 cents

I have kings which are down around 35mm, depending on your new wheels offset is whether or not the wheels will rub.

Again, mine handles very nicely (I am on 17" mp3 rims)

Cheers
