Any 16X8 Crosslace on Dropped/Lowered Car?

Ok, this seems to be the last step in my suspension overhaul. I was originally going to go with 17X9 or 9.5 wheels since they are imo not to large or to small but i LOVE the look of crosslaces which come in 16X8 as the largest size. Anyway, i was wondering if anyone out there has crosslaces and have dropped their car. Im aware the tire size plays a large roll here but i dont want to fill my wheel well up with large tires if i dont have to. Thanks

Im sure a lot of people have, i was just hoping someone would have sopme quick pics on hand. It kinda sucks being torn on a decision like this. lol Of course the crosslaces would be a lot cheaper.
