Nope dropped it about 1". The road quality in China is really bad and dropping it more will be hell to drive.
Have already rubbing insome holes at the rear. Bodywork will be adjusted and then I will try to lower it more.

Thanks. Yes, the side windows are tinted (24%). They don't look that dark in person.

In BC, the cops here only allows me to tint the back passenger windows, otherwise they warned me they will issue me a traffic ticket.

I wish they would allow me to tint the front passengers windows just like yours - more effective sun shield and looks sharper

Hey man speaking of those wheels...does it bother you that your spedo is thrown off now from the smaller overall diameter? im having rubbing issues with my 17x7's wrapped with 205/40's and i was thinking of getting 16's with the same spec tires but theyd be smaller overall. the only thing id benefit from would be no rub with my spacers especially if i drop. or just get different offset 17's ahh idk what to do. lol or i could remove my spacers completely and everything is fixed, unless i drop lol.

Na it doesn't bother me to much at all! Um I was driving next to my wife one day and saw I was off like 5 mph... That don't faze me ! what does suck it how thin it is ! I got that size thinking I was gonna rub, never gonna do that again! But umma rock them till I need new tires ! After installing the adapters, I rub when I have enough weight in the back and I speed over a dip or even turn I rub ! But I'm going to roll the rear to fix that! U should do the same! Next tires from now I'm gonna get 45 being the lowest!but it's all good !

+40 with 1" spacers in the rear

The reason i went with such big spacers is because i wanted bolt on ones and for my rims i needed the bolts from the hub to not poke from the spacers. I didn't feel like putting extended lugs in.

That explains your rubbing issue!

Basically you are running a et15. With just the 40 offset you are pushing the face of your wheel (and subsequently your tire) out 28mm more than factory.

Add your 25mm spacer and that number jumps to 53mm more. Thats just way too much. my 8 et35s are perfectly flush with the fender, and running 205/40-17's allows the tire to tuck inside the fender lip under hard cornering. btw thats 45mm farther out than factory.

So you are AT LEAST 8mm too far out with your current spacer setup.

And some pics of mine:
