no chance of getting 17s on without arch mods. if u do get them rolled make sure there done profesionally.and whatvea u do dont have them flared!

mine went on with no mods. But when i lowered it 40mm i needed spacers on the front as they were rubbing against the shocks.

oh and mine were et45, incase that helps

You wont get away without rolling the arches !

It really depends on what Mk ? and what ofset wheels you have ?

Get the arches rolled by a bodyshop, think it's about 50-70 quid an arch for a good job ! but make them rust proof/stopper and paint then sealent them cos it's no gooa havin nice wheels but rusty bodywork !

My mate did mine with a grinder, he did a bit of a messy job and the cutt is all rough but i rust stoppered them twice and sealed them with underbodysealent and they are fine, not bad for 10 quid !

my nova a mk2 if that makes any differents.
wot got me iz i asked in motor world about the same thing they said 17's will fit on aslong as u dont go past 35mm i know there probly tellin me that so id buy some wheels but id like 2 know b4 i buy um wether they'd fit without 2 much hassle sounds like the best bet 4 me iz to get 16's instead
cheers geeza 4 the advice its much appreciated

p.s. how exactly do they role the arches
