Comptech drop in 16's, pics???

I wanted to see if anyone has a comptech drop with 16's on? Maybe just winter wheels, but i wanted to see how it looked with just 16...

If you have any pics that would be great...

Thanks

I have Comptech Springs and have no issues with my 16" snow tires.
They are 205/60/16

Thanks Shawn

I wanted to know just haow careful you need to be with the car since its drop. I know that you are a neat freak, but if you had to say that since you dropped it, are you extreemly careful when parking and going over bumps or going into parking lots? Or just some what careful..

Reason i am asking, is because within a year or two, my girlfriend (fiance by then) will most likely be taking my car, so I can get my truck and an old muscle car. The way I see it, I can have my cake and eat it too this way...

But anyways, she is a typical woman driver and I just dont want her scraping or hitting anything. Just wondering that if you had no idea that it was dropped, and drove it like you did the day you bought it, would there be any damage or scraping?

Thanks all...

I’m real careful when pulling in/out of parking lots with steep inclines, but other then that it’s not too extreme a drop to get worked up about.
The Comptech springs only lower the front end 1” and there are some guys here running with 2 inches or more drop.
You just have to learn to do the “ricers angle” maneuver when dealing with steep entrances and exits.

For the record, I’ve never hit or scraped anywhere with my car and I’ve had the trunk loaded pretty full when on vacations.
I never have passengers in the back though.
