hi ' im danny nova n im not a happy bunny' i drive a nova gte n i love her to bits about 4 weeks ago my car was stolen n they took everything ! then they decide it would b funny to kick the hell out of it :( iv now got her bk on the road n she is runnin like a bag of shit but becides that i need to replace the arces both front an bk witch aint no bother but iv got my hands on some 17's the question is on a 100mm dropp would they fit in the inner arch of would it have to come out an re made ? n would i need spacers 4 the back to clear the shocks ????????????????

I'd guess 17's would have problems on a 100mm drop lol... spacers will depend on the width of the wheel/tyres and offset.

yeh usualy u need alsorts of mods just 2 get any wheel in
with 100mm drop :?

[lee 16v]

if you no any1 with some 17 with a 49 offset(i think)
try them with no springs and see what happens lol

[srs1]

i'd suggest using the space bar and comors and full stops myself

After reading 5 times i have gleened the following info

your car was stolen

I presume you now have it back

They kicked and dented it during its "stolen time"

Your rear arches are fuked and the car is dented

and u want to fit 17s on a 100mm drop

ok...... try 17s on 60mm drop...... but perhaps consider the dents and arches first, cant really comment without a pic.

But 17s with 195/45 tyres or even 195/40 if u can afford and ET45 should be ok, you will no doubt need to remove the lip of the arches but this might not be possible depending on the state they are currently in.

i'm running 17's on mine,
and with 100mm drop you'll have problems on the front also as well as the back
ths smallest tyre i could find was a 205/40/17 (as i was told that the 195 would be stretched too much)
the back outer arch had to be widened slightly and the inner arch also caught so that had to be adjusted,
worst problem on the front was wheel to arch hitting esp on bumpy twisty roads.

tbh best bet would be a either a full set of coilovers or a 100mm drop on the back then just the front set of coilovers so it could be adjusted to your own setting

195s are usually suited to 6-6.5" width alloys, and most 17" wheels are 7.0"+ wide. If you can find some 6/6.5" wide 17" wheels then that would be ideal, although you'd probably need some pretty thin walled tyres to maintain the rolling radius close to how it should be.
