When i had 17's on my corsa i just tapped the arches out a bit with a rubber mallet. This gave the wheels some extra clearance. Think they were ET45 wheels. Never scrubbed on a 35mm drop and could even have a full car load with no rubbing. If you dont fancy cutting your arches banging them out with a mallet is another alternative. :thumbs: | |

alrite kirsty... try lowering it 40mm on a full kit if it rubs do the necessary arch work (skimming the plastic archs/debolting etc) if that doesnt work go more drastic.. angle grinder etc if that doesnt sell the rims!! | |

Me thinks that removing the bolts from the rear arch and bonding them back on will help but they will still rub on full lock and with people in the back. Id stick with what you have on there, looks schweeet :) | |
