I am running Pro drive 19's and prodrive (rebadged eibach??) and have no problems although i think on full lock i can just hear my tyre scrubbing the mud guard or something like. Prodrive recommend running 19's anyway if I remember rightly.

Cookie, think you'll be fine lowering and it will look the nuts but ive heard nothing but bad reports on drivavbility and handling with the 19's.

I hope everything is okay for you though mate

The handling on my 19s was fine ! & they looked better than 18s too ! BUT too many pot holes where I live & they buckled too much !
