	Well if the offset is too high (the wheel sticks in too far) you could buy spacers to make it stick out further, that should work. but depending on the offset of the wheels spacers may be a bad idea because it increases the chances of rubbing on the arches

	so wot offset is gona stop the wheel from hitting the anti roll bar when its on a full lock to the left?

	The offset is dependant by the wheel, its NOT on the tyre
slicker_than_ur_average	posted on 27th Apr 04 at 17:40
	40 or 42 i think, i offset the one which is on the tyre where it says 205/40/17 and how will the offset stop it from hitting the anti roll bar?

Red_SXi	posted on 27th Apr 04 at 17:38

	i bought some 17" wheels today, 205/40/17 BSA 239s i took em to the tyre shop to have em fitted but they wont go on coz they seem to be hitting the anti roll bar when i do a full lock to the left. so how come every other corsa driver with 17s doesnt seem to have this problem and they also said that my arches cant be rolled out coz of my bodykit i have on the car, i have the full carzone body kit including front/rear bumpers and sideskirts and arches. why does this always have to happen to me, i must have the worst luck ever, all i wanted was for my 17s to go on :mad: how can i sort this out, do i have to change my body kit? who else has got 17s with the same problem of hitting their wheel on the rollbar with a full lock to the left?:mad::boggle:
