oversized tyres and 40mm drop

Hey guys this is my first post i live in Tasmania Australia and own a 2004 1.5l m/t gd3 jazz ive had for about 6 months and have been enjoying the crap out of driveing and modifying it.

Currently im sitting on some oversized tyres that are 195/65/15 and too install these and have 0% rub at full lock i had too delete the inner guards completly I then had the rear guards rolled and the fronts the large tabs bent back and up after those things there was still rub at full lock so i installed 5mm spacers in the front and 3mm spacers in the rear with extened wheel studs

Next weekend i plan on installing vogland springs and new strut hats the voglands are a 35-40mm drop does anyone think im going too get away with it? if poo hits the fan i can always pull the guards in the front and apply some pull too all 4 corners but my main question is has anyone done this before and what where your results? Anways more pics incomeing next week end of before and after and if anyones intrested on the other things ive had done ill post up a list

well that went perfectly no rub at all lock too lock with previous mods although i could probably roll the fronts slightly more for extra clearance incase i hit a pot hole
ended up installing some kyb strut tops in the front and rear too compliment the new springs took me about 2hr in total but i had acess to a hoist, air tools and spring compressors
