it may catch slightly on 60mm but its best to go fro 40 profiles as they will be much better than 45`s

depends what tyres you got. take it its on a vtr.
im down 60/80 and didnt have any problems with 40 profile tyres. have 45 and you get slight rubbing i think.

I had slight rubbing on 16's lowered 40mm with 45 profile tyres..
Get 40 profile tyres..
60mm is abit low for 16's imo..

16's on a low profile tyre ie.40 has the same overall size has the vts rims on a 45 profile.
So you may experience some rubbing, but nothin major, may just be your arch liners that need ripping out or something.

I'm down about 60 at the back on 40's with 16's and I've never had a problem apart from terrible handling compared to the 14's for some reason.

Mine is down 55mm on front and 60mm rear on 16's with 45 profile tyres.
I had scrub due to the arch liners all round. Took the bumper brakets off the rear and haven't had any other problems. Get slight rubbbing on full lock at front but can take 5 in the car no problem
