Hi, I'm thinking of getting some alloys for my mk2 sri and am think of 15's or 16's. However I dont want to do any arch mods. So could I get Wolfrace Urban Racer 7 in 15" but how low could I go with these? Would these fit in 16"? With allesio speedlines 2 which are 16" how low could I go with these?

Which ones? Wolfrace UR7 or speedlines??

Thanks very much,
Alex.

you'll not get 16's on without work on the arches mate.


the name is misleading - because i am not called wisewood.

yeah, wisewood is right.you'll need arch mods for any 16s.
i think the wolfraces 15s will go on without any arch mods, but if you wanna lower it, i'd say 25mm is your maximum if you dont want to do arch mods......
i think speedlines are nicer.
why dont you get the arches rolled? it doesnt cost much? or you could do it yourself.....

stick to 15" * 6.5" wheels, if lowering 25mm, whats wrong with arch mods, its easy, just spend 10 mins on each arch with a grinder and remember to under seal the arches afterwards, just dont go to mad with grinding.
