[Potswalker]

Can anyone please tell me how to get 17s on my gsi? can you remove the inner skin on the rear arch's? i've cut out the inner lip but need loads more room-any ideas?i'm not gona go as far as getting a wide arch kit though!

How wide are the wheels????
What offset??

easiest way to do it would be put them on the car and cut/fold/hammer anything they scrub against.

If oyu go that big u best get the right offset

i just put 16's on mine, looked at the clearence and now wish i went for 17's. i have 195/45/16 on 40mm drop. no probs, my 14's were a 38mm offset and they rubbed.

put 16's on. fit easier, cheaper, goes quicker...and get this; you'll do less mileage.!!!..lol. imo.

Apprently you want about et45 to be perfect otherwise it will foul the suspension arm.

When i was considering it was told loads of varying advice like need to knock the inner wings in etc, drove a couple with 17" fitted one of wich lost some of the full lock and rubbed like mad whilst turning and another one seemed fine.

All depends on many factors.

Depends how low you go to how much trouble you'll have..... As said above... as long as you get a Vaux offset (or very close) you'll be fine

You need 45mm offset with 17*7" wheels, any other offset will need spacers. Rick

Hi i posted this post (but on my bro's username) cheers for all the advice every1- The tires are 205 wide and the ET of my wheels is 35, does this mean if i get an ET of 45 i'll be alright?

[Bilbo ballbaggins]
