i went 40/40 on dampers n springs n didnt rub so should be fine
i had 195/45/16

but again depends on how low u go, if u go 60 or more you might have issues

should be fine but again depends how low u wanna go

yeah should think so as far as i no all vauxhal wheels are safe to go low with as they have the correct offset mine are after market i think the offset is wrong
