50mm should be ok but you will have to watch your choice of wheels
mines only down 30mm but I'm on 18s with the vw plastic arch bits and once me and the GF get in and fill the 85 litre tank the tyres are close to the arch

you'll be fine on 16s, I do a lot of 'rough road' camping and have an underslung gas tank so can't slam it too much

This is a 50mm drop on avos with 16" Merc rims-the plastic wheel arch trim makes it look closer but on full lock with a full load it does touch sometimes

Thank's Dweezil!
I am just about to buy some 17" RS4 wheels...
I was planning to use my 14" Fuchs's but i think the undercarriage will be to near the ground when i have the stance i want.
We'll see! Edited by Thomas A - 24 Sep 08 at 05:40 |

yeah, the original buyer didn't want the karmann stripe or cheetah logo but specified the blue stripes, don't know why he did it but it's ok by me
