17"s on a lowerd 60mm???

[smitty5door]

does n e 1 out there know if you can put 17"s on a lowered 60mm??? or will i have to roll the arches?? :roll: i dnt wanna buy 17 if they dnt fit coz i dnt wanna roll the arch lip bak???

[Mike.]

erm i think its possible but i'm not sure that rolling the archs wuold help u might have to flare them slightly, it also depends on whether its a mk1 or mk2 because the mk2s got wider rear arches

[dan-hipgrave]

you will definately have to roll the arch with 17's and lowered 60mm. If you dont wanna roll the arch your best bet is to get some 15's or 16's with an offset close to ET49

[Mike.]

i agree it would be much easyer to get smaller rims

[smitty5door]

cheers do u think i should get 15" or 16"???

[Mike.]

i think 15s quiker exceleration :D :D

[novaexplod]

i think 15s quiker exceleration :D :D

not always true :roll:

[epo]

i think 15s quiker exceleration :D :D

thats what i thought
but 17's look mint
15's or 16's go on no probs with out ne rollin providing the right size tyers are used and the ofset is correct
if its a mk 2 no grinding of the rear arches will be required

No go for 18's with loads of harsh noises that you choose to ignore as if you ignore them they're not there right? :lol:

id just turn the stereo up so i cudnt hear em but since u aint got 1 :lol:
(sing louder) :lol:

[Al Wilson]

No stereo mate, thats why the big holes in the rear are for! Not to view the exhaust sound but to hear the exhaust drown out the wheels!! :lol:

[epo]

ah right good thinkin :wink:

Yes 15's will give better acceleration, but it's only when you start getting serious about acceleration that you need to worry about that.

17's and a 60mm drop will fit. You will be best off getting the lip on all your arches taken off by using a grinder (or getting a bodyshop to do it). Try and get as close to the Vauxhall offset as you can.

Isn't that a whole load of work just to save griding the lip down?

[burgo]

me car needs to new rear arches ne wayz so may as well put the mk2 ones in while im at it

[Al Wilson]

Fair enough, that'd make sense as you have to replace them.
