    Mk1 Golf Gti 1.6 I have lowered my car by 40mm.

    What is the maximum tyre and alloy size i can go to without any arch work?

    15" can it be done?

    Currently 13" alloys with 175/70 r13 tyres

    15" wheels are normally fine but depends on the width an offset. For example a 7jx15" wheel with an offset of around 38 and 195/50/15 tyres will not give you any problems.

    no, as long as you don't go lower than 40mm you will be fine.
