Do you need to mod the arches with 16" Speedline Alesio (sp.) wheels on?

Back is lowered 60mm - possibly putting 70mm Coilspring springs on.

Cheers!

(sorry - I'm sure this is a very common question!!!)

depend if its on mk2 or mk1

if mk2 you should get away with it if your on correct et mesurements

if mk1 will need to do some mods as the inner and outer arches are 1.5 inches closer

my cars dropped on 16's but they are slightly wider then the speedlines and dropped 100mm the only prob is they rub on outer arch until i bought some tilted sidewall tyres
