    I wouldn't go anything under 45 personally, and for the sake of rubbing nothing over 8.5 for decent handling. It would be fine on the daily school run, but a nuisance on the windy stuff.

    I'm looking at OZ supertourismos in 19 x 8.5 et 48. That's nice and close to stock so I don't have to worry about handling and the like.

    Can't stand the 19 xtrem wheels I have on now, looks like a commo!
    NOW: MY15.5 Race Blue RS

    THEN: MY10 Black Magic RS

    Would the 8.5's scrub after say a 40mm drop in ride height?
