my mate had his dropped 60mm and put some 17s on, they scrubbed that much that in under 1/2 mile of drivin 1 of his rear tyres blew out! on top of that he could hardly turn his front wheels lol

17's are ok on a 40mm drop tho :) as i bought and split a corsa that had 17's on and a 40mm drop sot thats ok :D just make sure you have stiffened suspension otherwise it will cause it to lean and bounce then that will make them scrub.
