i have 17's et45, lowered -40mm on my corsa c. no rubbing and theres plenty more room in the arches for more loweing if need be. I didnt like the ride on just Apex springs as i found it to be too bouncy so i bought some Koni adjustable shocks which firmed up the ride a bit and now i can fly round corners :)

sweet cheers all

your shocks will be fine dont worry.

ive got 17's, hand 4 people, a boot full of ICE and jumped a hump-backed bridge, no rubbing, thats with a -35mm drop, Its safe to say you will be fine.

but if i get it lowerd will it fuck my shocks
and as for springs everywhere ive looked has said 1.2 and up nish about 1.012v

theres plenty of room, but bcuz vx hav so many probs with racks and hubs they say oh its your wheels to try get out of it. same for astra g and headlights steaming u. vx hav told us to leave on for 20mins then use compressed air to blow it out. if it goes cant hav new1 warranty. pants

no mate but loads of people on here have there's lowereed with no problems.the c has so much room under the arches

chewbac was that lowerd aswel

no mate will be fine iv'e got mine on17's et42 had a boot full of luggage and 3 adults in the car wheels where under the arches and didn't catch once

i work for vx and now u gotta be careful bcuz vx are trying to blame big wheels for the faulty racks and hub assys. 17s are ok on their own or lowered, but if go in a dealership, put standards back on. it saves a lot of hassle.

i have a 53 plate corsa c want to no if 17s will rub with full car even with et45 offset plus would it be better or worse with it lowerd 40mm .would i need shocks aswel?cheers all:thumbs:
