I think i removed four to get 17's on.
Id go for 16's if u have loads of people in the car often, im ok as its usually just me +2 others max

on my old 15's lowered 40mm ive had 4 in the back before with no rubbing over big bumps. dunno bout 16s tho.

would u have to remove all the bolts and stick the arch on or can u just remove the top 2 bolts

what would i need to do if i was puttin 15's on?

u can have 16's lowered 40mm all you will have to do is stick the rear archs on, not use the bolts.

if i was gonna lower my 5 dr 40mm wot size would i get on with out modding the arches? 14's? i often carry 5 people in my car to college each day (taxi)

cheers :)

THATS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN YOUR CAR KRIS TD AND FOR A 5 DOOR I MUST COMPLIMENT YA ON THE WORK YOU JAVE DONE...LOOKS REAL GOOD!!

MIKE

I just debolted rear, had 1 front passenger and 1 rear without rubbing.
Not tried anymore people yet.
thats -40mm on Apex springs.

other people needed more,depends on your springs aswell i guess.

for 17's what will i have to do to my arches to carry 2 people with a 40mm drop

Get 17's, if u get smaller u will always want to get 17's, i did anyway:)

Mines fine on them, glad i went for them in the end.

get 17's, ive been through all wheels sizes possible and wish i had got 17's first off. i can take a full car, just put in bump stops. mine are 4 cm bumpstops.

god dam it do u think i should get 16's or 17's for my 5 door as i dont want to butcher my arches and also want to get 2 people in the back.
i will also have a 40mm drop

Lookin good mate

i have some apex 60mm springs and they sat higher than my pi 35mm springs, so fcuked them off and got some pi -60mm rear springs, sits much lower now.

well the back did anyway, front went down loads.

there you go, easy link

well i didnt:P
I can assure you they are fine and look good:)
Apex 40mm springs look more like 30-35mm when they are on though.

well, i also cut the arch cos i have wide archs, was catching on it before.

btw, new pics where the back has been lowered 60mm now

u only debolted rear arches. kris td cut the metal arch to get them 17's on

Got 17's ET45 offset. with 40mm drop on Apex springs.
Only debolted rear arches, plenty of clearance at the front.
No rubbing with me and 2 others in the car, Aint tried it yet with any more

thanks
no problem wont be for bout 10 days coz im getting my bodykit alloys suspension all at the same time, and i was told today my skirts wont be down for bout 12 days

Let us all know how you get on dave. Good luck mate!

prob 15's with no lowering.

its the rear arches thats the problem they are smaller than on a 3dr. im getting 16's tomorrow and a 40mm drop. i expect i would have to just take the 2 top bolts off the rear arches i hope bearing in mind i would like to carry 2 people in the back so i may also hit the inner arch in with a hammer and a block of wood

anyone?

t

how big can my wheels be on my 5 door corsa b4 i have to do any mods?
