Hey just had my car lowered 60mm all round, still on standard 1.2 wheel thingys. Well ive got some of those 3 spoke 14inch sr wheels to put on, bearing in mind its lowered 60mm im guessing the rear arches will need raising and rolling inwards, anything else needed?

Thanks.

Shouldn't need to roll them-although some nova's (especially the ones that have been in abit of a prang) can have the rear drivers/passengers rear wheel closer to the arch than the opposite side. Should be fine though.

Tyre size could be an issue...

I had mine lowered 60mm on the 14" 3 spoke alloys, never had any trouble at all

my sri was lowereed 60mm on apex springs and shocks and i had 16" speedline allesios and they didnt rub 5's up over speedbumps although i did bottom out sometimes. i had no arch work but it was a minta it was completely straight as said if its had a shunt it may have less room on one side than the other
