How low: 60-70mm

Does it rub: Does a little with 15mm spacers on the rear and catches the front splitter at times.

Looks good, but can I throw a little spanner in the works? the pre-facelift ibiza has a lip on the rear arches, its only 1/2 an inch wide but thats what scrapes on mine. just some info for you

Was that aimed at me???

if so its not the outter arch, thats fine. its the entire inner arch at the top, right below my fuel line. and its the whole flat surface of the tyre thats catching

as a wise man once spoke..."its absoloutly fine!"

Just a point. Don't know whether its been mentioned above, but the only way to truly measure the drop on a car is from arch to centre of the wheel.

You could have a 24" wheel on there but the suspension difference would still be the same even though you could hide small children underneath!!

sorry no it wasn't. Just a bit of info for the mas website. I found that you can run wider tyres on the later facelift cars as the pre-facelit has a small lip on the inside of the rear arch

and yep, its all gravy
