As above want to see what 306 look like on 16s lowered anyone with 16" wheels and any of the following drops?...
-40/50/60mm
Don't fancy -60mm but want to get an idea of the arch gap etc.
Thanks in advance

Erm, well heres a few. Lowerings are an estimate/best of my memory thing. All on 205/45R16 tyres. I have excluded the ones that aren't on that tyre profile.

You never seen a standard height Meridian on 16s? It's pretty funny tbf...

Most of mine have been lowered lol. No more than 40mm though, I like ride comfort.
This is the best comparison I can find lol, not 16s but same rolling radius, moonstone is standard, china is the one pictured above on airaines. Forgot how bad the arch gap is on them!

Crikey can't believe how different all the above look considering most are only between 40-60mm
rd07... Looks damn good. I won't be going, anywhere near as low as that. I think going by all of the above I'll go for either 50/60f and 60r and go with 195/45 profile
