Yes, but I'm not sure by how much. I think the best way to define it is to measure the height of the top of the sills front and rear both sides. I did end up at 28cm +/- 1cm when I first raised it up from being tooooo low, but that was with OE wheels and 225/45x16's. With the 225/45x17's I expect I am a little higher now. I've got the FK coilovers with Bravo top mounts.

Can i ask why bravo topmounts?Do they fit fine on a standard setup?

I will be lowering mine soon with 55's so will post feedback as soon as

The FK's come as standard with a solid ball bearing mount, too hard for me and many others, the bravo mount has a big chunk of rubber and makes all the difference in getting the cheap-ish FK coilover solution to work, IMHO they're no good without the bravo mounts, but we're going a bit off-topic here. If you're lowering with Eibach springs for example you should be OK on 205/55's since the tyre is no wider (205) than standard.

Thats fine then,i should be lowering 30mm with 205/55

My current front track rubber is 205/55, a tight fit but no issues and lowered.

Does anyone have a picture they can post of a 20VT running the 55 profile tyres so we can see how it looks?

justg picked up some 20vt wheels running 205/55's think I might change them as they seem massive, anyone got any pics with 55's on?
