Thanks, here's another pic, what you reckon, more low? Or enough?

You always need more low.. Well when you're asking people around here :P

I reckon no gap between tyre and guard is perfect (so a little more) but that's just me

I agree as long as you can turn into a corner hard and it does to grab the wheel arch :)

To my eye, those rims don't suit a low look.

Change the rims and then entertain a lower stance.

+1, that's as low as I'd go, even then that's probably a bit too low for those wheels. IMO because the offset is so weak they tuck way too much when dropped. Ideally you'd have something with a low +40 something offset which will sit flush with the guards.

It is a shame the offset is weak. They are nice rims otherwise. But if I'm given the choice now to spend $1,000-$1,500 I'd rather spend it on engine mods now as the car looks good enough for now, and I'm also a financial planner, so when I visit my clients I don't want them to think I'm a hoon, whereas they won't know what's under my bonnet. Will prob leave it at this height as it doesn't attract attention and still looks near stock to the untrained eye

Wouldn't recommend spacers, you'd need 10mm for them to look flush and I wouldn't be sacrificing 10mm off your hub bolts...
